Q-12:
Zero
IRR is the internal rate of return of a given project, whereas the cost of capital is its required rate, when both are the same then the return is exactly zero.
Q-13:
P/E ratio
Payback period, internal rate of return and NPV are the methods that are used to evaluate capital budgeting decisions but not PE ratio.

Question 10 7.5 pts You are considering a project with conventional cash flows. The IRR is 15.7 percent, NPV is -$198, and the payback period is 3.92 years. Which one of the following statements is correct given this information? This project should be accepted based on the internal rate of return. The discount rate used in computing the net present value was less than 15.7 percent. The required rate of return must be greater than 15.7 percent. The discounted payback...

The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. However, in reality the reinvested cash flows may not necessarily generate a return equal to the IRR. Thus, the modified IRR approach makes a more reasonable assumption other than the project's IRR. Consider the following situation: Celestial Crane Cosmetics is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $2,750,000. The project's expected cash flows are: Year Year 1...

The net present value method assumes that cash flows are reinvested at the ____. Whereas the internal rate of return method assumes that cash flows are reinvested at the____. discount rate, required rate of return cost of capital, market rate of return firm’s cost of capital, computed internal rate of return marginal cost of capital , discount rate. In terms of the capital budgeting process, the dollar amount of interest charges is always considered in the net cash flow calculation...

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...

f a company is in the situation of having unlimited capital funds, the best decision rule, considering only financial factors, is for the company to invest in all projects in which: The payback period is short. The accounting (book) rate of return (ARR) is greater than its current return on invested capital (ROI). The net present value (NPV) is greater than the cost of capital. The internal rate of return (IRR) is greater than zero. The NPV is greater than...

For a typical capital investment project, the bulk of the investment-related cash outflow occurs: During the initiation stage of the project During the operation stage of the project Either during the initiation stage or the operation stage During neither the initiation stage nor the operation stage Evenly during all three stages: initiation, operation, and final disposal The time value of money is explicitly considered in which of the following capital budgeting methods? Payback method Net present value (NPV) method Operating...

Capital Budgeting Analysis : A firm is planning a new project that is projected to yield cash flows of - $595,000 in Year 1, $586,000 per year in Years 2 through 5, and $578,000 in Years 6 through 11. This investment will cost the company $2,580,000 today (initial outlay). We assume that the firm's cost of capital is 11%. (1) Draw a timeline to show the cash flows of the project. (2) Compute the project’s payback period, net present value...

Assume a project has normal (conventional) cash flows (i.e., initial cash flow is negative, and all other cash flows are positive). Which of the following statements is most correct? All else equal, a project's IRR increases as the required rate of return declines. All else equal, a project's IRR increases as the required rate of return increases All else equal, a project's NPV increases as the required rate of return declines. None of the above Question 11 (2 points) Suppose...
