Which techniques of capital budgeting do not consider time value of money
- A.
Profitability Index (PI)
- B.
Return on investment (ROI)
- C.
Pay back period
- D.
Net Present Value (NPV)
- E.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
Correct Answer(s)
B. Return on investment (ROI)
C. Pay back periodExplanation
The techniques of capital budgeting that do not consider the time value of money are Return on Investment (ROI) and Payback Period. ROI is a simple measure of profitability that calculates the ratio of net profit to the initial investment without taking into account the timing of cash flows. Payback Period also ignores the time value of money by measuring the time required to recover the initial investment without considering the present value of future cash flows. On the other hand, Profitability Index (PI), Net Present Value (NPV), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) all consider the time value of money by discounting future cash flows to their present value.Rate this question:

In which Capital budgeting technique we use the following formula ?
- A.
Profitability Index (PI)
- B.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
- C.
Net Present Value (NPV)
- D.
Profitability Index (PI)
Correct Answer
C. Net Present Value (NPV)Explanation
The Net Present Value (NPV) is a capital budgeting technique that uses the formula mentioned in the question. NPV calculates the present value of expected cash flows by discounting them at a desired rate of return. It considers the time value of money and determines whether an investment will result in a positive or negative value. A positive NPV indicates that the investment is profitable, while a negative NPV suggests that the investment may not be worthwhile. Therefore, NPV is the correct answer in this case.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Reduction in the sales revenue, or market share of one product as a result of the introduction of a new product by the same producer.Explanation
Cannibalization in marketing and strategy refers to the reduction in sales revenue or market share of one product when a new product is introduced by the same producer. This means that the new product is taking away customers and sales from the existing product, resulting in a decrease in its revenue and market share.Rate this question:

Sunk costs need to be included while calculating the incremental cash flows.
- A.
TRUE
- B.
FALSE
Correct Answer
B. FALSEExplanation
Sunk costs:
Sunk costs need to be excluded while calculating the incremental cash flows. Sunk
costs are the costs that have already incurred in the past. Whether you decide to invest your
money in the new project or not, the sunken costs cannot be recovered. For instance, if a
company has purchased an import/export license and a few years after the company decides to
export a certain commodity, the cost incurred to purchase the license would not be included in
the cash flows. Whether the company decides to undertake the new export project or not, the
license fee cannot be recoveredRate this question:

While calculating the net incremental after tax cash flows we should include
- A.
The incremental effect of externalities, whether negative or positive
- B.
The incremental effect of externalities while its positive
- C.
The incremental effect of externalities while its negitive
- D.
No of the above
Correct Answer
A. The incremental effect of externalities, whether negative or positiveExplanation
When calculating the net incremental after-tax cash flows, it is important to include the incremental effect of externalities, whether they are negative or positive. This means that any additional costs or benefits resulting from external factors that impact the project should be taken into account. By considering both positive and negative externalities, the calculation will provide a more accurate representation of the project's overall financial impact.Rate this question:

While calculating the NPV for the project
- A.
You have to include the Opportunity costs
- B.
You have to ignore the Opportunity costs as in real term it will not produce any inflow or out flow of cash
Correct Answer
A. You have to include the Opportunity costsExplanation
Opportunity costs relevant to the cash flows of the project
Suppose you are to invest in a new project, a small production unit with 4 weaving looms. You
would also need to have a piece of land where the machinery would be installed. Suppose
further, that you already have that piece of land. While calculating the NPV for the project, you
would have to include the value of the land that you are using. Although you are not buying that
land, but that land has a certain market value. You could have sold that land at the market price
and by not doing so you are incurring an opportunity cost.Rate this question:

Normally, short term interest rates are lower than long term rates
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Short term interest rates are generally lower than long-term rates because they reflect the current market conditions and the overall economic outlook. In the short term, there is often more uncertainty and volatility in the market, which leads to lower interest rates. Long-term rates, on the other hand, take into account expectations for future economic conditions and inflation, which tend to be more stable. Therefore, it is true that short-term interest rates are generally lower than long-term rates.Rate this question:

The interest incurred in one year is not added to the principal in case of
- A.
Simple Interest
- B.
Discrete Compound Interest
- C.
Compound Interest
Correct Answer
A. Simple InterestExplanation
In case of Simple Interest, the interest incurred in one year is not added to the principal. Instead, the interest is calculated only on the original principal amount. This means that the interest remains constant throughout the duration of the loan or investment. Unlike compound interest, where the interest is added to the principal and then interest is calculated on the new total, simple interest does not take into account any previous interest earned.Rate this question:

Which formula is correct in case of simple interest
- A.
F V = PV + (PV x i x n)
- B.
F V = (PV x i x n)
Correct Answer
A. F V = PV + (PV x i x n)Explanation
The correct formula for calculating simple interest is FV = PV + (PV x i x n). This formula takes into account the principal amount (PV), the interest rate (i), and the time period (n) to calculate the future value (FV). It accounts for the initial investment (PV) and adds the interest earned over the given time period.Rate this question:

Why net present value is the most important criteria for selecting the project in capital budgeting?
- A.
Because it has a direct link with the shareholders dividends maximization
- B.
Because it helps in quick judgment regarding the investment in real assets
- C.
Because it has direct link with shareholders wealth maximization
- D.
Because we have a simple formula to calculate the cash flows
Correct Answer
C. Because it has direct link with shareholders wealth maximizationExplanation
Net present value (NPV) is considered the most important criteria for selecting a project in capital budgeting because it directly relates to shareholders' wealth maximization. NPV takes into account the time value of money by discounting cash flows and compares the present value of cash inflows to the present value of cash outflows. A positive NPV indicates that the project is expected to generate more value than the initial investment, leading to an increase in shareholders' wealth. Therefore, selecting projects with a positive NPV helps in maximizing shareholders' wealth.Rate this question:

By accurately predicting future financial events, businesses can make informed decisions and minimize the risks involved. This allows them to plan for contingencies and emergencies, prepare for future opportunities, and potentially reduce costs associated with responding to unexpected situations.
