a.         Project A

b.         Project B

c.         Both projects A and B

d.         Neither project should be accepted

 

 

 

 

 

2. When should a normal project be accepted according to internal rate of return (IRR)?

 

a.         IRR < WACC

b.         Only if IRR = WACC

 c. IRR > WACC

d. None of the above.

 

 

3. What is the crossover rate?

a.         The rate where two normal projects have the same net present value.

b.         A project's expected return.

c.         A project's required return.

d.         The difference between two normal project's internal rates of return.

 

 

4. What is given by the point where a normal project's net present value profile crosses the x- axis?

 

a.         The crossover rate.

b.         MIRR

c. IRR

d. None of the above.

 

5. The MIRR is the compound annual interest rate that equates      with     for a project?

 

a.         The present value of the future cash flows at the IRR; the cost.

b.         The future value of the cash inflows at the WACC; the present value of the outflows at the WACC

c.         The present value of the cash inflows at the WACC; the present value of the outflows at the WACC

a.         Project A

b.         Project B

c.         Both projects A and B

d.         Neither project should be accepted

 

8.         Which of the following is true for a normal project whose IRR is greater than its WACC (cost of capital)?

a.         The project's NPV < 0.

b.         The project's NPV = 0.

 c. The project's NPV > 0.

d. The project has multiple IRRs

 

9.         When does a ranking conflict exist between NPV and IRR for two normal projects?

a.         When the WACC equals the crossover rate.

b.         When the WACC is less than the crossover rate.

c.         When the WACC is greater than the crossover rate.

d.         A ranking conflict cannot exist between NPV and IRR for two normal projects.
