When comparing two mutually exclusive alternatives by the ROR method, if the rate of return on the alternative with the higher first cost is less than that of the lower first-cost alternative: (a) The rate of return on the increment between the two is greater than the rate of return for the lower first-cost alternative (b) The rate of return on the increment is less than the rate of return for the lower first-cost alternative (c) The higher first-cost alternative may be the better of the two alternatives (d) The lower first-cost alternative should be selected

Compare the mutually exclusive alternatives based on the rate of return?
e. IMPORTANT Note that from this example that a higher IRR for a nindividual alternative does not gurantee that the alternatvie is more economical than the one with a lower IRR. It is the incremental IRR value relative to the MARR that determines which alternative is more economical. The result of the incremental analysis are always the same as those of the PW,AW, or FW anaylsis
c) Do the Net Present Value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) always agree to accept-reject decisions? And to ranking decisions? Please explain.
When npv is negative, the discount rate is greater than the actual return on investment. A. True B. False
How does the expected rate of return concept differ from that of the realized rate of return?
what is the difference between a required rate of return and an expected rate of return?
Identify two disadvantages of using the payback period for comparing investments.
Which one of the following statements is correct?a. If NPV is positive, IRR will be less than required rate of returnb. If NPV = 0, IRR is equal to the required rate of returnc. If NPV is positive, IRR is equal to the required rate of returnd. If NPV is negative, IRR will be greater than the required rate of returne. None of the above
If the internal rate of return (IRR) is less than the cost of capital, then the investment is acceptable. Group of answer choices True False
