1. 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?
If the WACC is 10%, both projects will have a negative NPV.
If the WACC is 10%, both projects will have positive NPVs.
If the WACC is 6%, Project S will have the higher NPV.
If the WACC is 13%, Project S will have the lower NPV.
2. 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.
The higher the WACC used to calculate the NPV, the lower the calculated NPV will be.
If a project’s NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC.
If a project’s NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero.
The NPVs of relatively risky projects should be found using relatively low WACCs.
