    • NPV, PI, and PBP select different projects as the best option

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. NPV, PI, and PBP select different projects as the best option

    Suppose interest rate is 10%. 4 years from now, you expect to receive $1000. What is it's discounted value to you at present?

    • $683.01

    • $826.45

    • $1000

    Correct Answer
    A. $683.01
    Explanation
    Future Cash Flows are discounted by the interest rate using the formula: FV/(1+r)^n. Here, FV=$1000, r=10%, n=4. So, Present Value = 1000/1.1^4 = $683.01

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Suppose interest rate is 10% compounded annually and you are investing $1000 now. What amount of money your investment will grow in 4 years time?

    • $1464.10

    • $1400.00

    Correct Answer
    A. $1464.10
    Explanation
    After Year 1, $1000 becomes (at 10% interest): 1000 + 1000 x 10% = $1100
    After Year 2: 1100 + 1100 x 10% = $1210
    After Year 3: 1210 + 1210 x 10% = $1331
    After Year 4: 1331 + 1331 x 10% = $1464.10

    If a Project A has greater NPV than that for a Project B, then Project A has greater PBP than that for Project B. This statement is -

    • Always True

    • Always False

    • Not necessarily always True

    Correct Answer
    A. Not necessarily always True
    Explanation
    NPV and PBP are two different capital budgeting methods, with different concepts. So, not necessarily NPV and PBP will always choose the same project as the best project.

    • Cash flow now is not equivalent to same amount of cash flow in future

    • Both of above

    Correct Answer
    A. Both of above
