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. A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the cash inflows at the cost of capital to find the present value (PV), then discounting the PV to find the IRR.
b. If a project's IRR is smaller than the cost of capital, then its NPV will be negative.
c. A project's IRR is the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the project's cost.
d. If a project's IRR is positive, then its NPV must also be positive.
e. A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the initial cost at the cost of capital to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the cost of capital.
