Production Budget

A budget can be defined as a financial plan designed by an undertaking for a definite period in the future that can contribute towards enhancing the financial success of the business undertaking. It is used to estimate the revenue and expenses. The budget generally takes into account both current and future income and expenses.

Which of the following is CORRECT? Select one: a. If the NPV of a project is negative, the IRR for the project must also be negative. b. A project's MIRR can never exceed its IRR. c. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR less than WACC, the project must have a positive NPV. d. If Project 1's IRR exceeds Project 2's IRR, then 1 must have a higher NPV than 2. e. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR greater than WACC, the project must have a positive NPV. You purchase a house for $250,000. After you make your down payment of $50,000, you are financing $200,000 for 30 years at an annual percentage rate of 5.4%. How much are your monthly payments? Select one: a. Less than $1,000 b. Between $1,000 and $1,050 c. Between $1,050 and $1,100 d. Between $1,100 and $1,150 e. Greater than $1,200
Which of the following statements is most correct? If a project’s internal rate of return (IRR) exceeds the cost of capital, then the project’s net present value (NPV) must be positive. If Project A has a higher IRR than Project B, then Project A must also have a higher NPV. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that all cash flows are reinvested at a rate of return equal to the cost of capital. Answers a and c are correct. None of the answers above are correct.
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. If Project A has a higher IRR than Project B, then Project A must also have a higher NPV. b. If a project has normal cash flows and its IRR exceeds its cost of capital, then the project's NPV must be positive. c. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that all cash flows are reinvested at the cost of capital. d. If Project A has a higher IRR than Project B, then Project A must have the lower NPV. e. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that cash flows are withdrawn from the business rather than being reinvested in the business.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that all projects being considered have normal cash flows and are equally risky. O If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then under all reasonable conditions, the project's IRR must be negative. O If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then under all reasonable conditions the project's NPV must be zero. O There is no necessary relationship between a project's IRR, its WACC, and its NPV. O When evaluating mutually exclusive projects, those projects with relatively long lives will tend to have relatively high NPVS when the cost of capital is relatively high. O If a project's IRR is equal to its WACC, then, under all reasonable conditions, the project's NPV must be negative.
Which of the following statements is most FALSE? A. If a project with normal cash flows has a positive NPV, it will definitely have an MIRR greater than the cost of capital. B. If a project with normal cash flows has an IRR that is greater than the cost of capital, then taking on that project would decrease the value of the firm. C. If a project has normal cash flows, then the MIRR has to be between k and IRR if the project has positive interim cash flows (cash flows between t=0 and the end of the project). D. If a project with normal cash flows does not have any interim cash flows, the project's IRR will equal the project's MIRR. E. Multiple IRRS can exist for a project if the project has nonnormal cash flows. OA OB OC
If a project with conventional cash flows has an IRR equal to the required return, then: O The profitability index is one. O The IRR must be zero. O The project should be accepted, as the NPV is greater than zero. O The payback period is less than the maximum acceptable period. The NPV is negative.
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. Select one: a. The lower the WACC used to calculate it, the lower the calculated NPV will be. b. If a project's NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero. c. The NPV of a relatively low-risk project should be found using a relatively high WACC. d. A project's NPV is found by compounding the cash inflows at the IRR to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC. e. If a project's NPV is less than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC.
Which of the following statements is most correct? If a project’s internal rate of return (IRR) exceeds the cost of capital, then the project’s profitability index must be positive. If Project A has a higher IRR than Project B, then Project A must also have a higher NPV. The IRR calculation implicitly assumes that all cash flows are reinvested at a rate of return equal to the IRR. Group of answer choices Only statements I and II are incorrect. None of the statements above is incorrect. Only statement II is correct. Only statement I is correct. Only statement III is incorrect.
Which of the following statements is true about the internal rate of return? a. It is the interest rate that sets a project's net present value at zero. b. It is the minimal acceptable interest rate on an investment. c. It is the difference between the present value of the cash inflows and outflows associated with a project. d. It is the difference between the present value of a cash outflow and the depreciation associated with an asset.
For a capital investment project to be acceptable, it must generate a rate of return: O Less than the required rate of return. O Equal to or greater than the cost of capital. 4 O Equal to the initial investment. none of the above answers are correct.
When the present value of the cash inflows exceeds the initial cost of a project, then the project should be : A. rejected because NPV is negative. B. accepted because NPV is greater than 1. C. accepted because the profitability index is negative. D. rejected because the internal rate of return is negative.
