Ans : May Yield multiple IRRs
Reason : If a positive cash flow is followed by a negative cash flow and then by a positive cash flow then it may yield multiple IRRs for the project .
Which one(s) identifies the disadvantage(s) of the IRR rule? None of the choices May yield multiple...
Which of the statements below is TRUE? One problem with IRR as a decision rule is that if the cash flow is not standard, there is a possibility of multiple IRRs for a single project. When we talk about standard cash flow for a project, we assume an initial cash outflow at the beginning of the project and negative cash flows in the future. For every period that the cash flow has a change of sign (negative to positive or...
7) Which of the following statements is FALSE? A) The IRR investment rule will identify the correct decision in many, but not all, situations. B) By setting the NPV equal to zero and solving for r, we find the IRR. C) If you are unsure of your cost of capital estimate, it is important to determine how sensitive your analysis is to errors in this estimate. D) The simplest investment rule is the NPV investment rule. 8) Which of the...
When might the IRR rule provide different guidance regarding
project selection than the NPV rule?
a) When a project has net expenditures (costs) that occur after
positive cash inflows.
b) When a project has two or more years of initial net
expenditures, followed only by cash inflows.
c) When a project has multiple IRRs.
d) When deciding between
mutually exclusive projects with different initial investment
amounts.

Project selection ambiguity can arise if you rely on the internal rate of return (IRR) instead of the net present value (NPV) when A project's cash flows are non-conventional There are multiple IRRs. Projects are mutually exclusive All of the above
9. What is the intuition behind the IRR rule? Under what conditions will the IRR rule and the NPV rule give the same accept/reject decision? 10. Explain what is meant by ‘mutually exclusive projects’ and why it is generally a bad idea to use IRR to choose between mutually exclusive projects? 11. Using an example of each, explain sunk costs and opportunity costs. Which of these costs should be included in incremental cash flows and which should be excluded? 12....

Ranking conflicts can arise if one relies on IRR instead of NPV when: Multiple Choice The first cash flow is negative and the remaining cash flows are positive. Projects are independent of one another. A project has more than one NPV. Projects are mutually exclusive. The profitability index is greater than one.
