Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 6

Question
The NPV assumes that periodic cash inflows are invested at a rate equal to the firm's cost of capital.
Answer

Question
A net present value profile is a graphical presentation of the NPV at various discount rates.
Answer
  • True

Question
In reference to capital budgeting, risk is the chance that a project has a high degree of variability in the initial investment.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 9

Question
For conventional projects, the NPV and the IRR will always produce the same accept-reject decision.

Question 10

Question

Answer
  • True

Answer
  • True

Question 17

Question
Assuming 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.
Answer

  • False

Question 18

Question
