2024 – Question The NPV profile graphs Points 10 removed the project s NPV over a range of discount rates removed the

[removed] the project’s NPV over a range of discount rates.
[removed] the project’s IRR over a range of discount rates.
[removed] the project’s cash flows over a range of NPVs.
[removed] the project’s IRR over a range of NPVs.

[removed] The IRR investment rule will identify the correct decision in many, but not all, situations.
[removed] By setting the NPV equal to zero and solving for r, we find the IRR.
[removed] 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.
[removed] The simplest investment rule is the NPV investment rule.

[removed] In general, the IRR rule works for a stand-alone project if all of the project’s positive cash flows precede its negative cash flows.
[removed] There is no easy fix for the IRR rule when there are multiple IRRs.
[removed] The payback rule is primarily used because of its simplicity.
[removed] No investment rule that ignores the set of alternative investment alternatives can be optimal.

[removed] NPV.
[removed] profitability index.
[removed] IRR.
[removed] incremental IRR.

[removed] When evaluating a capital budgeting decision, the correct tax rate to use is the firm’s average corporate tax rate.
[removed] To determine the capital budget, firms analyze alternative projects and decide which ones to accept through a process called capital budgeting.
[removed] A new product typically has lower sales initially, as customers gradually become aware of the product.
[removed] Sunk costs have been or will be paid regardless of the decision whether or not to proceed with the project.

[removed] We begin the capital budgeting process by determining the incremental earnings of a project.
[removed] The marginal corporate tax rate is the tax rate the firm will pay on an incremental dollar of pre-tax income.
[removed] Investments in plant, property, and equipment are directly listed as expense when calculating earnings.
[removed] The opportunity cost of using a resource is the value it could have provided in its best alternative use.

[removed] $24.0 million
[removed] $56.0 million
[removed] $31.5 million
[removed] $13.5 million

[removed] The tax savings brought about by the project’s depreciation expense
[removed] The cost of a marketing survey you conducted to determine demand for the proposed project
[removed] Interest payments on debt used to finance the project
[removed] Research and development expenditures you have made

[removed] Net Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities.
[removed] Because depreciation is not a cash flow, we do not include it in the cash flow forecast.
[removed] Tax loss carry backs allow corporations to take losses during the current year and use them to offset income in future years.
[removed] Earnings are an accounting measure of firm performance.

[removed] We can use scenario analysis to evaluate alternative pricing strategies for our project.
[removed] Scenario analysis considers the effect on NPV of changing multiple project parameters.
[removed] The difference between the IRR of a project and the cost of capital tells you how much error in the cost of capital it would take to change the investment decision.
[removed] Scenario analysis breaks the NPV calculation into its component assumptions and shows how the NPV varies as each one of the underlying assumptions change.
