Suppose a firm relies exclusively on the payback method when making capital budgeting decisions,and it sets a 4-year payback regardless of economic conditions.Other things held constant,which of the following statements is most likely to be true?


A) It will accept too many short-term projects and reject too many long-term projects (as judged by the NPV) .
B) It will accept too many long-term projects and reject too many short-term projects (as judged by the NPV) .
C) The firm will accept too many projects in all economic states because a 4-year payback is too low.
D) The firm will accept too few projects in all economic states because a 4-year payback is too high.
E) If the 4-year payback results in accepting just the right set of projects under average economic conditions, then this payback will result in too few long-term projects when the economy is weak.

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) The longer a project's payback period, the more desirable the project is normally considered to be by this criterion.
B) One drawback of the payback criterion for evaluating projects is that this method does not properly account for the time value of money.
C) If a project's payback is positive, then the project should be rejected because it must have a negative NPV.
D) The regular payback ignores cash flows beyond the payback period, but the discounted payback method overcomes this problem.
E) If a company uses the same payback requirement to evaluate all projects, say it requires a payback of 4 years or less, then the company will tend to reject projects with relatively short lives and accept long-lived projects, and this will cause its risk to increase over time.

F) None of the above

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?


A) One defect of the IRR method is that it does not take account of cash flows over a project's full life.
B) One defect of the IRR method is that it does not take account of the time value of money.
C) One defect of the IRR method is that it does not take account of the cost of capital.
D) One defect of the IRR method is that it values a dollar received today the same as a dollar that will not be received until sometime in the future.
E) One defect of the IRR method is that it assumes that the cash flows to be received from a project can be reinvested at the IRR itself, and that assumption is often not valid.

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.

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.

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.

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 took actions that 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? Note that a project's projected NPV can be negative,in which case it should be rejected.
