Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

• B)While using a hurdle rate rule for deciding when to invest might be a cost-effective way to make investment decisions,it is important to remember that this rule does not provide an accurate measure of value.
• C)When the cash flows are constant and perpetual,and the reason to wait derives solely from interest rate uncertainty,the hurdle rate rule of thumb is always exact.However,when these conditions are not satisfied,the rule of thumb merely approximates the correct decision.
