The capital budgeting evaluation method that considers only the recovery of the initial investment and ignores additional cash flows and the timing of the cash flows is the:

internal rate of return.

Reason:

payback period.

The formula to calculate the accounting rate of return is:

annual income before tax/annual average investment

When comparing investment opportunities with approximately the same cost and risk level, choose the investment with the:

--

lowest net present value

Reason:

highest positive net present value

<input name="mcinput_b6f9d08e-fdd4-5ba5-aa18-471c582133bf_scoring" type="radio" />

lowest negative net present value

Reason:

highest positive net present value

<input name="mcinput_b6f9d08e-fdd4-5ba5-aa18-471c582133bf_scoring" type="radio" />

highest net present value

Reason:

If the highest NPV is negative, the project should still be rejected.

Of the four capital budgeting methods, which two reflect the time value of money?

:

Internal rate of return (IRR) and net present value

If a company uses straight-line depreciation, the annual average investment can be calculated as: (Check all that apply.)

(beginning book value + salvage value)/2.

sum of individual years' average book values/number of years of planned investment

(beginning book value + ending book value)/2.
