1The payback period is the amount of time, rounded to the nearest year, which is required for a firm to recover the cost of a new asset.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
2Net present value is considered a sophisticated capital budgeting technique since it gives consideration to the time value of money.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
3The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the present value of the cash inflows of a project with its initial investment.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
4If the NPV of a project is zero, the IRR of that project will always be less than the firm's cost of capital.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
5The goal of the firm should be to use its budget to generate the highest possible internal rate of return for its cash inflows.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
6The NPV assumes that periodic cash inflows are invested at a rate equal to the firm's cost of capital.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
7A net present value profile is a graphical presentation of the NPV at various discount rates.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
8In reference to capital budgeting, risk is the chance that a project has a high degree of variability in the initial investment.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
9For conventional projects, the NPV and the IRR will always produce the same accept-reject decision.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
10The break-even cash inflow is the minimum level of cash inflow associated with a project to be acceptable.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
11The internal rate of return assumes that the periodic cash flows associated with a project will be reinvested at the project's IRR.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
12For stand-alone projects, the PI will always give the same accept/reject decision as NPV.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
13One of the weaknesses of the payback approach is that it assumes cash flows are reinvested at an interest rate which is generally too high.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
14One of the weaknesses of the IRR approach is multiple IRRs.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
15Theoretically, NPV is superior to all of the other decision methods.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
16One of the disadvantages of the payback methods (either regular or discounted) is that it considers all cash flows throughout the entire life of a project.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
17Assuming that the total cash flows are equal, the NPV of a project whose cash flows accrue relatively rapidly is more sensitive to changes in the discount rate than is the NPV of a project whose cash flows come in more slowly.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
18Other things held constant, an increase in the cost of capital discount rate will result in a decrease of a project's IRR.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
19The modified IRR (MIRR) always lead to the same capital budgeting decisions as the NPV methods.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
20If the IRR of normal Project X is greater than the IRR of mutually exclusive Project Y (also normal), we can conclude that the form will select X rather than Y if has a NVP > 0.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
