Assume has normal cash lows, with one outflow followed by a ses The N mewy merthed ssumes that cash flows will e reinvested at the WACC, while the IRR at the IRR NPV will be. The higher the WACC used to caleulate the NPV, the lower the calculated b. 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. Two of the above answers are correct evaluating imutually exclusive investments is that multiple IkRs may exist, and when that appens, we don't know which IRR is relevant. True b. False 9. Projects S and L both have an initial cost of $10,000. Project S's undiscounted net cash flows total S20.000, while L's total undiscounted flows are S30000. At a WACC of 10%, the two projccts have identical NPVs. Which project's NPV is more sensitive to changes in the a. Project S c Both projects are equally sensitive to changes in the WACC since their NPVs are equal at all d. e. costs of capital. Neither project is sensitive to changes in the discount rate, since both have NPV profiles that are horizontal. The solution cannot be determined because the problem gives us no information that can be used to determine the projects' relative IRRs 10. Stern Associates is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's payback? Year Cash flows $1,100 $300 5310 5320 $330 $340 a. 2.31 years b. 2.56 years c. 2.85 years d. 3.16 years e. 3.52 years 11. Changes in net operating working capital should not be reflected in a capital budgeting cash flow analysis because capital budgeting relates to fixed assets, not working True a. b. False 12. Which of the following statement about cash flow is false? a. If debt is to be used to finance a project, then when cash flows for a project are estimated interest payments should be included in the analysis
