methods. (c)

NPV decision criteria can never conflict. (b) The IRR method can never be subject to the
multiple IRR problem, while the MIRR method can be. (c) One reason some people

4. (TCO F) Which of the following statements is correct? (Points : 5) (a) For a project with
normal cash flows, any change in the WACC will change both the NPV and the IRR. (b)

then we discount the TV at the WACC to find the PV. (c) The NPV and IRR methods
both assume that cash flows can be reinvested at the WACC. However, the MIRR method
assumes reinvestment at the MIRR itself. (d)..
