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 regular IRR is found by compounding the cash inflows at the cost of capital to find the present value (PV), then discounting the TV to find the IRR.

b. If a project's IRR is smaller than the cost of capital, then its NPV will be positive.

c. A project's IRR is the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the project's cost.

d. A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the initial cost at the cost of capital to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the cost of capital.

e. If a project's IRR is positive, then its NPV must also be positive.
