1. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with
one outflow followed by a series of inflows.
2. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
3. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
4. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
5. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
6. Assume that the economy is in a mild recession, and as a result interest rates and money costs generally are relatively
low. The WACC for two mutually exclusive projects that are being considered is 8%. Project S has an IRR of 20% while
Project L's IRR is 15%. The projects have the same NPV at the 8% current WACC. However, you believe that the economy
is about to recover, and money costs and thus your WACC will also increase. You also think that the projects will not be
funded until the WACC has increased, and their cash flows will not be affected by the change in economic conditions.
Under these conditions, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
7. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
8. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with
one outflow followed by a series of inflows.
9. Assume that the economy is enjoying a strong boom, and as a result interest rates and money costs generally are
relatively high. The WACC for two mutually exclusive projects that are being considered is 12%. Project S has an IRR of
20% while Project L's IRR is 15%. The projects have the same NPV at the 12% current WACC. However, you believe that
the economy will soon fall into a mild recession, and money costs and thus your WACC will soon decline. You also think
that the projects will not be funded until the WACC has decreased, and their cash flows will not be affected by the change
in economic conditions. Under these conditions, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
10. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
11. Projects S and L are equally risky, mutually exclusive, and have normal cash flows. Project S has an IRR of 15%, while
Project L’s IRR is 12%. The two projects have the same NPV when the WACC is 7%. Which of the following statements is
CORRECT?
12. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
13. Projects C and D are mutually exclusive and have normal cash flows. Project C has a higher NPV if the WACC is less
than 12%, whereas Project D has a higher NPV if the WACC exceeds 12%. Which of the following statements is
CORRECT?
14. Westchester Corp. is considering two equally risky, mutually exclusive projects, both of which have normal cash flows.
Project A has an IRR of 11%, while Project B's IRR is 14%. When the WACC is 8%, the projects have the same NPV.
Given this information, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
15. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows,
with one outflow followed by a series of inflows.
16. A company is considering a new project. The CFO plans to calculate the project’s NPV by estimating the relevant cash
flows for each year of the project’s life (i.e., the initial investment cost, the annual operating cash flows, and the terminal
cash flow), then discounting those cash flows at the company’s overall WACC. Which one of the following factors should
the CFO be sure to INCLUDE in the cash flows when estimating the relevant cash flows?
17. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
18. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
19. Suppose Tapley Inc. uses a WACC of 8% for below-average risk projects, 10% for average-risk projects, and 12% for
above-average risk projects. Which of the following independent projects should Tapley accept, assuming that the
company uses the NPV method when choosing projects?
20. Which one of the following would NOT result in incremental cash flows and thus should NOT be included in the
capital budgeting analysis for a new product?
21. Which one of the following would NOT result in incremental cash flows and thus should NOT be included in the
capital budgeting analysis for a new product?
22. Which of the following rules is CORRECT for capital budgeting analysis?

24. Currently, Powell Products has a beta of 1.0, and its sales and profits are positively correlated with the overall
economy. The company estimates that a proposed new project would have a higher standard deviation and coefficient of
variation than an average company project. Also, the new project’s sales would be countercyclical in the sense that they
would be high when the overall economy is down and low when the overall economy is strong. On the basis of this
information, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
