c. values a dollar received today the same as a dollar that will not be received until sometime in the future.

2. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow at the beginning of the project, followed by a series of inflows.

a. To find a project's IRR, we must solve for the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the project's cost.

b. The project will have multiple IRR's.

c. The project's NPV will always be positive.

d. If a project's IRR is greater than the WACC, then its NPV must be negative.
