Questão 1
Questão
The 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.
Questão 2
Questão
Net present value is considered a sophisticated capital budgeting technique since it gives consideration to the time value of money.
Questão 3
Questão
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the present value of the cash inflows of a project with its initial investment.
Questão 4
Questão
If the NPV of a project is zero, the IRR of that project will always be less than the firm's cost of capital.
Questão 5
Questão
The goal of the firm should be to use its budget to generate the highest possible internal rate of return for its cash inflows.
Questão 6
Questão
The NPV assumes that periodic cash inflows are invested at a rate equal to the firm's cost of capital.
Questão 7
Questão
A net present value profile is a graphical presentation of the NPV at various discount rates.
Questão 8
Questão
In reference to capital budgeting, risk is the chance that a project has a high degree of variability in the initial investment.
Questão 9
Questão
For conventional projects, the NPV and the IRR will always produce the same accept-reject decision.
Questão 10
Questão
The break-even cash inflow is the minimum level of cash inflow associated with a project to be acceptable.
Questão 11
Questão
The internal rate of return assumes that the periodic cash flows associated with a project will be reinvested at the project's IRR.
Questão 12
Questão
For stand-alone projects, the PI will always give the same accept/reject decision as NPV.
Questão 13
Questão
One of the weaknesses of the payback approach is that it assumes cash flows are reinvested at an interest rate which is generally too high.
Questão 14
Questão
One of the weaknesses of the IRR approach is multiple IRRs.
Questão 15
Questão
Theoretically, NPV is superior to all of the other decision methods.
Questão 16
Questão
One 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.
Questão 17
Questão
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.
Questão 18
Questão
Other things held constant, an increase in the cost of capital discount rate will result in a decrease of a project's IRR.
Questão 19
Questão
The modified IRR (MIRR) always lead to the same capital budgeting decisions as the NPV methods.
Questão 20
Questão
If 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.
