1 the net present value method takes into account: a) the cash

The net present value method takes into account:   [removed]A) the cash flow over the life of the project and the time value of money.   [removed]B) the cash flow over the life of the project but not the time value of money.   [removed]C) the time value of money but not the cash flow over the life of the project.   [removed]D) neither the cash flow over the life of the project nor the time value of money.     2
An increase in the discount rate will:   [removed]A) compensate for reduced risk.   [removed]B) have no effect on net present value.   [removed]C) increase the present value of future cash flows.   [removed]D) reduce the present value of future cash flows.     3
The following data pertain to an investment that is being considered by the management of Hanson Company.

The net present value of the proposed investment is:

[removed]A) ($6,860).   [removed]B) $-0-.   [removed]C) $1,242.   [removed]D) $6,710.     4
In comparing two investment alternatives, the difference between the net present values of the two alternatives obtained using the total-cost approach will be:   [removed]A) less than the net present value obtained using the incremental cost approach.   [removed]B) the same as the net present value obtained using the incremental cost approach.   [removed]C) greater than the net present value obtained using the incremental cost approach.   [removed]D) indeterminable.     5
Hartley Company is considering the following investment proposals.

How should management rank the proposals in terms of preference using the profitability index?   [removed]A) D, B, C, A   [removed]B) B, D, C, A   [removed]C) B, D, A, C   [removed]D) A, C, B, D     6
The preference rule for ranking projects by the profitability index is:   [removed]A) the higher the profitability index, the more desirable the project.   [removed]B) the lower the profitability index, the more desirable the project.   [removed]C) the higher the sunk cost, the more desirable the project.   [removed]D) the lower the sunk cost, the more desirable the project.     7
Which of the following statements is correct?   [removed]A) The payback period is the length of time it takes for an investment to recoup its own initial cost out of the cash receipts it generates.   [removed]B) Projects with shorter payback periods are always more profitable than projects with longer payback periods.   [removed]C) The payback method of making capital budgeting decisions gives full consideration to the time value of money.   [removed]D) If new equipment is replacing old equipment, any salvage received from sale of the old equipment should not be considered in computing the payback period of the new equipment.     8
