Exam 11: The Basics of Capital Budgeting

Ehrmann Data Systems is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data.What is the project's MIRR? Note that a project's projected MIRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative),in which case it will be rejected. WACC: 9.00\% Year 0 1 2 3 Cash flows -\ 1,000 \ 450 \ 450 \ 450

(Multiple Choice)

Question 41

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows,with one outflow followed by a series of inflows.

(Multiple Choice)

5.0/5

(69)

Question 42

If the IRR of normal Project X is greater than the IRR of mutually exclusive (and also normal)Project Y,we can conclude that the firm should always select X rather than Y if X has NPV > 0.

(True/False)

4.8/5

(77)

Question 43

Project S has a pattern of high cash flows in its early life,while Project L has a longer life,with large cash flows late in its life.Neither has negative cash flows after Year 0,and at the current cost of capital,the two projects have identical NPVs.Now suppose interest rates and money costs decline.Other things held constant,this change will cause L to become preferred to S.

Question 44

Susmel Inc.is considering a project that has the following cash flow data.What is the project's payback? Year 0 1 2 3 Cash flows -\ 475 \ 150 \ 200 \ 300

(Multiple Choice)

4.8/5

Question 45

The regular payback method is deficient in that it does not take account of cash flows beyond the payback period.The discounted payback method corrects this fault.

Question 46

Jazz World Inc.is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data.What is the project's NPV? Note that a project's projected NPV can be negative,in which case it will be rejected. WACC: 9.75\% Year 0 1 2 3 4 Cash flows -\ 1,200 \ 400 \ 425 \ 450 \ 475

(Multiple Choice)

4.8/5

(84)

Question 47

Because "present value" refers to the value of cash flows that occur at different points in time,a series of present values of cash flows should not be summed to determine the value of a capital budgeting project.

(True/False)

4.9/5

(85)

Question 48

The primary reason that the NPV method is conceptually superior to the IRR method for evaluating mutually exclusive investments is that multiple IRRs may exist,and when that happens,we don't know which IRR is relevant.

(Multiple Choice)

Question 51

The IRR method is based on the assumption that projects' cash flows are reinvested at the project's risk-adjusted cost of capital.

(Multiple Choice)

4.9/5
