Question 8. 8. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. (Points : 2)

      [removed] A project’s NPV is found by compounding the cash inflows at the IRR to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC.

      [removed] If a project’s NPV is less than zero, then its IRR must be less than the WACC.
      [removed] If a project’s NPV is greater than zero, then its IRR must be less than zero.
