The internal rate of return (IRR) calculates the percentage cost of capital at which those same cash flows will result in a net present value of zero.
Thus the answer is c)

Question 3 5 pts Our firm's cost of capital is 10%. We are thinking about taking a project that gives a 10% rate of return. Which of the following statements are correct. The NPV of this project is zero. The firm will increase its value if it takes this project. The firm should not take this project because it will lose value if the project is taken. The IRR of the project is greater than the cost of capital. Two...

A project requires, as its only cost, an initial investment of
$17,000. It then generates positive future cash flows. The
appropriate discount rate is 22%. This project has an NPV of -$935
(negative NPV). What can you say about this project’s IRR?

1. Net present value (NPV) Evaluating cash flows with the NPV method The net present value (NPV) rule is considered one of the most common and preferred criteria that generally lead to good investment decisions Consider this case: Suppose Pheasant Pharmaceuticals is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Beta) that will require an initial investment of $2,225,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Cash Flow Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4...

QUESTION THREE A. A company is considering two alternative investment projects both of which have a positive net present value. The projects have been ranked on the basis of both net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). The result of the ranking is shown below: Project A Project B NPV Ist 2nd IRR 2nd 1st Discuss any four (4) potential reasons why the conflict between the NPV and IRR ranking may have arisen.

A project's NPV profile graph intersects the Y-axis at 0% cost of capital and intersects the X-axis at the project's Select (where NPV = 0). The Y-axis intersection point represents the project's undiscounted NPV. The point at which 2 projects' profiles cross one another is the crossover rate. The crossover rate can be found by calculating the Select of the differences in the projects' cash flows (Project Delta). A Select NPV profile indicates that increases in the cost of capital...

Evaluating cash flows with the NPV method The net present value (NPV) rule is considered one of the most common and preferred criteria that generally lead to good investment decisions. Consider this case: Suppose Hungry Whale Electronics is evaluating a proposed capital budgeting project (project Alpha) that will require an initial Investment of $500,000. The project is expected to generate the following net cash flows: Year Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Cash Flow $350,000 475,000 400,000 475,000...

B) Ranking conflicts can arise if one relies on IRR instead of NPV when The first cash flow is negative and the remaining cash flows are positive Projects are independent of one another. C) A project has more than one NPV. D) Projects are mutually exclusive. E) The profitability index is greater than one. The cash flows of a new project that come at the expense of a firm's existing projects are: A) Salvage value expenses. B) Net working capital...

You have just started your summer internship, and your boss
asks you to review a recent analysis that was done to compare three
alternative proposals to enhance the firm's manufacturing
facility. You find that the prior analysis ranked the proposals
according to their IRR, and recommended the highest IRR option,
Proposal A. You are concerned and decide to redo the analysis using
NPV to determine whether this recommendation was appropriate. But
while you are confident the IRRs were computed correctly,...
