question 86

Multiple Choice

• B) ​More of Project B's cash flows occur in the later years.
• C) ​We must have information on the cost of capital in order to determine which project has the larger early cash flows.
• D) ​The NPV profile graph is inconsistent with the statement made in the problem.
