Which of the following statements about the internal rate of return (IRR) is correct? Assume cash flows are conventional. Question 8 options: When the internal rate of return is less than the required return, the NPV is positive, and the project should be accepted. Projects with conventional cash flows have multiple internal rates of return. The internal rate of return is the discount rate that results in a net present value equal to zero. The internal rate of return is the dollar amount of profit the project is expected to earn. The internal rate of return defines the maximum rate of return a firm expects to earn on a project.

Which of the following statements is true if the NPV of a project is $-$ 4,000 dollar (negative 4,000 dollar ) and the required rate of return is 5 percent? a. The project's IRR is less than 5 percent. b. The required rate of return is lower than the IRR. c. The NPV assumes cash flows are reinvested at the IRR. d. The NPV would be positive if the IRR was equal to 5 percent.

The internal rate of return for a project can be determined: A) only if the project's cash flows are constant. B) by finding the discount rate that yields a zero net present value for the project. C) by subtracting the company's cost of capital from the project's profitability index. D) only if the project profitability index is greater than zero.
When a project's internal rate of return equals its opportunity cost of capital, then: The net present value will be negative. The net present value is a linear combination of MIRR and IRR. The net present value will be positive. The project has no cash inflows. The net present value will be zero.
