kalps Surely B is wrong, the IRR must be greater than CoC for a project to be accepted
morpheus918 Read it again. That's what B says.
jaan B is right... read it again its says IRR > CoC
mtcfa B is 100% right. IRR is the rate where NPV = 0. If the cost of capital is less then the IRR, NPV is positive (i.e. the discounting effect is not as great).
Rotigga MIRR method assumes that cashflows from all projects are reinvested at the cost of capital instead of IRR.
neenalisa Why's the answer not D??
czar yes, could someone please help explain, why not D?
thanks!
loisliu88 can anyone tell me what is a MIRR. didn't find it. thanks
loisliu88 well, give a guess. is it Multiple IRR?
LONG MIRR: Modified Internal Rate of Return.
for Reinvestment Rate of the cash inflow
Speer D is a correct statement because MIRR takes into considaration multiple cash flows-it doesnt change like IRR- and gives the same result as NPV.
