106. The profitability index shows benefits from the proposal in
absolute terms
relative terms
both of the above
none of these
Answer.2. relative terms
Explanation:
The profitability index (PI) is a measure of a project’s or investment’s attractiveness. The PI is calculated by dividing the present value of future expected cash flows by the initial investment amount in the project.
Although the profitability index is an extension of the present value method, many writers prefer the present value to the profitability index because it expresses, in absolute terms, the expected economic contribution of the project. In contrast, the profitability index expresses only the relative profitability.
107. For discounted cash flow methods, the discount rate used is:
fixed arbitrarily
equivalent to bank rate
equivalent to firm’s average cost of capital
equivalent to final rate of dividend
Answer.3. equivalent to firm’s average cost of capital
Explanation:
Discounted cash flow (DCF) is a valuation method used to estimate the value of an investment based on its expected future cash flows. DCF analysis attempts to figure out the value of an investment today, based on projections of how much money it will generate in the future.
The enterprise valuation approach discounts the after-tax free cash flow available to the firm from operations at the weighted average cost of capital to obtain the estimated enterprise value.

Answer.1. project evaluation
Explanation:
The process of measuring the progress and performance of a project is called project evaluation.

109. The excess of the present value over the cost of the project is _______
ARR
IRR
NTV
pi
Answer.3. NTV
Explanation:
The excess present value index sometimes also called the profitability index is (or further step in the refinement of the excess/net present value approach. It reflects the percentage relationship between the present value of the future cash inflows at the desired rate of return and the initial investment. The excess of the present value over the cost of the project is NTV (net terminal Value).
The terminal value is calculated by dividing the last cash flow forecast by the difference between the discount rate and terminal growth rate. The terminal value calculation estimates the value of the company after the forecast period.
110. In case of mutually exclusive projects, the project with _____ PI is to be selected
higher
lower
negative
positive
Answer.1. higher
Explanation:
In the case of mutually exclusive projects, the project with the highest net present value or the highest IRR or the lowest payback period is preferred and a decision to invest in that winning project excluded all other projects from consideration even if they individually have positive NPV or higher IRR than hurdle rate or shorter payback period than the reference period.
111. In independent projects, accept a project if its NPV is ______
higher
lower
negative
positive
Answer.4. positive
Explanation:
Independent project:- A project whose acceptance or rejection is independent of the acceptance or rejection of other projects. If NPV is greater (positive) than zero (NPV >0), accept the project. Mutually exclusive projects.
If the NPV of one project is greater than the NPV of the other project, accept the project with the higher NPV. If both projects have a negative NPV, reject both projects.
112. Under Net Terminal Value Method, accept a project if its NTV is _______
higher
lower
negative
positive
Answer.4. positive
Explanation:
A variation of the terminal value method (TV) is the net terminal value (NTV). If the NTVis positive, accept the project, if the NTV is negative, reject the project. In the above example, the NTV is positive. Therefore, the project is acceptable.
113. Accept a project if its IRR is ____ when compared to the desired minimum.
higher
lower
negative
positive
Answer.1. higher
Explanation:
If the IRR of a project is greater than or equal to the project’s cost of capital, accept the project. However, if the IRR is less than the project’s cost of capital, reject the project.
114. Reject a project if its IRR is ______when compared to the desired minimum.
higher
lower
negative
positive
Answer.2. lower
Explanation:
