Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

• A) under current laws and regulations, corporations must use straight-line depreciation for all assets whose lives are 5 years or longer.
• B) corporations must use the same depreciation method (e.g., straight line or accelerated) for stockholder reporting and tax purposes.
• C) since depreciation is not a cash expense, it has no effect on cash flows and thus no effect on capital budgeting decisions.
• D) under accelerated depreciation, higher depreciation charges occur in the early years, and this reduces the early cash flows and thus lowers a project's projected npv.
• E) using accelerated depreciation rather than straight line would normally have no effect on a project's total projected cash flows but it would affect the timing of the cash flows and thus the npv.
