举一反三
- Which of the following statements is themostaccurate description concerning the internal rate of return (IRR) method? IRR: A: is the preferred method for evaluating mutually exclusive projects. B: assumes that all cash flows from a project will be reinvested at the computed IRR. C: is sensitive to changes in the firm’s weighted average cost of capital.
- Compared with the net present value (NPV) method, the internal rate of return (IRR) method of evaluating investment projects:() A: is the preferred method for evaluating mutually exclusive projects. B: is not sensitive to the pattern or timing of the cash flows from the period. C: assumes that all cash flows from the project will be reinvested at the computed IRR.
- The internal rate of return (IRR) method and net present value (NPV) method of project selection will always provide the same accept or reject decision when:() A: the projects are mutually exclusive. B: the projects are independent. C: the projects terminate within five years.
- In what way is the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) method better than the IRR method?
- Which of the following statements is FALSE? A: The payback investment rule is based on the notion that an opportunity that pays back its initial investments quickly is a good idea. B: An internal rate of return (IRR) will always exist for an investment opportunity. C: A net present value (NPV) will always exist for an investment opportunity. D: In general, there can be as many internal rates of return (IRRs) as the number of times the project's cash flows change sign over time.
