Martin Manufacturing is considering two normal,equally risky,mutually exclusive,but not repeatable projects.Martin's WACC is 10%.The two projects have the same investment costs,but Project A has an IRR of 15%,while Project B has an IRR of 20%.Assuming the projects' NPV profiles cross in the upper right quadrant,which of the following statements is CORRECT?

Consider projects S and L.Both have normal cash flows,and the projects have the same risk,hence both are evaluated with the same WACC,10%.However,S has a higher IRR than L.Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

A project's IRR is independent of the firm's cost of capital.In other words,a project's IRR doesn't change with a change in the firm's cost of capital.

Assuming that their NPVs based on the firm's cost of capital are equal,the NPV of a project whose cash flows accrue relatively rapidly will be more sensitive to changes in the discount rate than the NPV of a project whose cash flows come in later in its life.

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

The IRR of normal Project X is greater than the IRR of normal Project Y,and both IRRs are greater than zero.Also,the NPV of X is greater than the NPV of Y at the cost of capital.If the two projects are mutually exclusive,Project X should definitely be selected,and the investment made,provided we have confidence in the data.Put another way,it is impossible to draw NPV profiles that would suggest not accepting Project X.

Carolina Company is considering Projects S and L,whose cash flows are shown below.These projects are mutually exclusive,equally risky,and are not repeatable.If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR,how much value will be forgone? Note that under some conditions choosing projects on the basis of the IRR will cause $0.00 value to be lost. WACC: 7.75\% Year 0 1 2 3 4 -\ 1,050 \ 675 \ 650 -\ 1,050 \ 360 \ 360 \ 360 \ 360

Westwood Painting Co.is considering a project that has the following cash flow and WACC data.What is the project's MIRR? Note that a project's MIRR can be less than the WACC (and even negative),in which case it will be rejected. WACC: 12.25\% Year 0 1 2 3 4 Cash flows -\ 850 \ 300 \ 320 \ 340 \ 360

Langton Inc.is considering Projects S and L,whose cash flows are shown below.These projects are mutually exclusive,equally risky,and not repeatable.The CEO believes the IRR is the best selection criterion,while the CFO advocates the MIRR.If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR rather than the one with the higher MIRR,how much,if any,value will be forgone.In other words,what's the NPV of the chosen project versus the maximum possible NPV? Note that (1)"true value" is measured by NPV,and (2)under some conditions the choice of IRR vs.MIRR will have no effect on the value lost. WACC: 7.00\% Year 0 1 2 3 4 -\ 1,100 \ 550 \ 600 \ 100 \ 100 -\ 2,750 \ 725 \ 725 \ 800 \ 1,400
