When a company’s discount rate increases, which of the following is true for a project that currently has a net present value of $105,325.69 and an IRR of 15.66%?
A. The company’s IRR will increase
B. The company’s IRR will decrease
C. The company’s net present value will increase
D. The company’s net present value will decrease
IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is the rate at which Net Present Value equal to Zero. In other words, at IRR the net present value of cash inflows are equal to present value of cash outflows.
The discount rate is used to determine the net present value of a project. When a discount rate increases the Net Present Value will decrease.
Hence, the correct option is D. The company’s net present value will decrease

True or False question The after-tax cost of debt generally increases when a firm's bond rating decreases. The weighted average cost of capital for a firm is the discount rate which the firm should apply to all of the projects it undertakes. Assigning discount rates to individual projects based on the risk level of each project may cause the firm's overall weighted average cost of capital to either increase or decrease over time. Other things being equal, the weighted average...

A decrease in the firm's discount rate will increase NPV, which could change the accept/reject decision for a potential project. However, such a change would have no impact on the project's IRR, and hence on the accept/reject decision under the IRR method. True False
