Which of the following statements about the net present value method of selecting projects is true?

a) For two mutually exclusive projects, the net present value and internal rate of return methods select different projects if the required rate of return is greater than the discount rate at which the two net present value profiles intersect.

b) If projects are independent, then the project with the highest net present value (providing it is greater than zero) is accepted.

c) If the projects are mutually exclusive, then all projects with a net present value greater than zero are accepted.

d) If a project's cash flows are positive after discounting them by the required rate of return, then it may be accepted if there are no better alternatives.
