• B) if a project's payback is positive, then the project should be rejected because it must have a negative npv.
• C) the regular payback ignores cash flows beyond the payback period, but the discounted payback method overcomes this problem.
• D) if a company uses the same payback requirement to evaluate all projects, say it requires a payback of 4 years or less, then the company will tend to reject projects with relatively short lives and accept long-lived projects, and this will cause its risk to increase over time.
