question 58

Multiple Choice

Given that the net present value (NPV) is generally considered to be the best method of analysis,why should you still use the other methods?

• A) The other methods help validate whether or not the results from the net present value analysis are reliable.
• B) You need to use the other methods since conventional practice dictates that you only accept projects after you have generated three accept indicators.
• C) You need to use other methods because the net present value method is unreliable when a project has unconventional cash flows.
