Tesar Chemicals 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 NPV.If the decision is made by choosing the project with the higher IRR rather than the one with the higher NPV, how much, if any, value will be forgone, i.e., what's the chosen NPV versus the maximum possible NPV? Note that (1) "true value" is measured by NPV, and (2) under some conditions the choice of IRR vs.NPV will have no effect on the value gained or lost.

A) A project's MIRR is always greater than its regular IRR.
B) A project's MIRR is always less than its regular IRR.

D) If a project's IRR is greater than its WACC, then the MIRR will be greater than the IRR.
E) To find a project's MIRR, we compound cash inflows at the IRR and then discount the terminal value back to t = 0 at the WACC.

Assume that the economy is in a mild recession, and as a result interest rates and money costs generally are relatively low.The WACC for two mutually exclusive projects that are being considered is 8%.Project S has an IRR of 20% while Project L's IRR is 15%.The projects have the same NPV at the 8% current WACC.However, you believe that the economy is about to recover, and money costs and thus your WACC will also increase.You also think that the projects will not be funded until the WACC has increased, and their cash flows will not be affected by the change in economic conditions.Under these conditions, which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) You should reject both projects because they will both have negative NPVs under the new conditions.
B) You should delay a decision until you have more information on the projects, even if this means that a competitor might come in and capture this market.
C) You should recommend Project L, because at the new WACC it will have the higher NPV.
D) You should recommend Project S, because at the new WACC it will have the higher NPV.
E) You should recommend Project S because it has the higher IRR and will continue to have the higher IRR even at the new WACC.

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.


A) A project's NPV is generally found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the terminal value (TV) , then discounting the TV at the IRR to find its PV.
B) The higher the WACC used to calculate the NPV, the lower the calculated NPV will be.
C) If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC.
D) If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero.
E) The NPVs of relatively risky projects should be found using relatively low WACCs.

Lasik Vision Inc.recently analyzed the project whose cash flows are shown below.However, before Lasik decided to accept or reject the project, the Federal Reserve changed interest rates and therefore the firm's WACC.The Fed's action did not affect the forecasted cash flows.By how much did the change in the WACC affect the project's forecasted NPV?

Project X's IRR is 19% and Project Y's IRR is 17%.The projects have the same risk and the same lives, and each has constant cash flows during each year of their lives.If the WACC is 10%, Project Y has a higher NPV than X.Given this information, which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) The crossover rate must be less than 10%.
B) The crossover rate must be greater than 10%.
C) If the WACC is 8%, Project X will have the higher NPV.
D) If the WACC is 18%, Project Y will have the higher NPV.
