B10.5%.
C12.0%.
Which of the following statements least accurately describes the IRR and NPV methods?
The discount rate that gives an investment an NPV of zero is the investment’s IRR.
BIf the NPV and IRR methods give conflicting decisions for mutually exclusiveprojects, the IRR decision should be used to select the project
CThe NPV method assumes that a project’s cash flows will be reinvested at the IRR.
A project’s IRR can be positive even if the NPV is negative.
BA project with an IRR equal to the cost of capital will have an NPV of zero.
CA project’s NPV may be positive even if the IRR is less than the cost of capital.
Which of the following statements least likely represents a characteristic of the time-weighted rate of return? It is:

Assume an investor purchases a share of stock for $50 at time t = 0, and another share at $65 at time t = 1, and at the end of Year 1 and Year 2, the stock paid a $2 dividend.
