Question
14) 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.A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting this TV at the WACC.
A project's regular IRR is found by discounting the cash inflows at the WACC to find the present value (PV), then compounding this PV to find the IRR.
If a project's IRR is greater than the WACC, then its NPV must be negative.
To find a project's IRR, we must solve for the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the PV of the project's costs.
To find a project's IRR, we must find a discount rate that is equal to the WACC.
Explanation / Answer
d. To find a project's IRR, we must solve for the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the PV of the project's costs.
