Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) For a project with normal cash flows, any change in the WACC will change both the NPV and the IRR.
B) To find the MIRR, we first compound cash flows at the regular IRR to find the TV, and then we discount the TV at the WACC to find the PV.
C) The NPV and IRR methods both assume that cash flows can be reinvested at the WACC. However, the MIRR method assumes reinvestment at the MIRR itself.
D) If two projects have the same cost, and if their NPV profiles cross in the upper right quadrant, then the project with the higher IRR probably has more of its cash flows coming in the later years.
E) If two projects have the same cost, and if their NPV profiles cross in the upper right quadrant, then the project with the lower IRR probably has more of its cash flows coming in the later years.

F) C) and D)

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.

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 found by compounding the cash inflows at the IRR to find the terminal value (TV) , then discounting the TV at the WACC.
B) The lower the WACC used to calculate it, the lower the calculated NPV will be.
C) If a project's NPV is less 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.

A) The MIRR and NPV decision criteria can never conflict.
B) The IRR method can never be subject to the multiple IRR problem, while the MIRR method can be.

B) The discounted payback method eliminates all of the problems associated with the payback method.
C) When evaluating independent projects, the NPV and IRR methods often yield conflicting results regarding a project's acceptability.
D) To find the MIRR, we discount the TV at the IRR.

For a project with one initial cash outflow followed by a series of positive cash inflows, the modified IRR (MIRR) method involves compounding the cash inflows out to the end of the project's life, summing those compounded cash flows to form a terminal value (TV), and then finding the discount rate that causes the PV of the TV to equal the project's cost.
