  2. Annual operating costs
  3. Depreciation
  4. Sunk cost
Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the formula for calculating the present value of a single cash flow?

  1. PV = CF / (1 + r)^n
  2. PV = CF * (1 + r)^n
  3. PV = CF * r^n
  4. PV = CF / r^n
Question 3 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which of the following is NOT a method for evaluating capital budgeting projects?

  1. Net present value (NPV)
  2. Internal rate of return (IRR)
  3. Payback period
  4. Profitability index
Question 4 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the formula for calculating the internal rate of return (IRR) of a project?

  1. IRR = (CF1 + CF2 + ... + CFn) / (Initial investment)
  2. IRR = (CF1 * (1 + r)^n + CF2 * (1 + r)^(n-1) + ... + CFn) / (Initial investment)
  3. IRR = (CF1 / (1 + r)^n + CF2 / (1 + r)^(n-1) + ... + CFn / (1 + r)) / (Initial investment)
  4. IRR = (CF1 + CF2 + ... + CFn) / (Initial investment * (1 + r)^n)
Question 5 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using cost-benefit analysis?

  1. It helps decision-makers allocate resources efficiently.
  2. It allows decision-makers to compare different projects on a common basis.
  3. It takes into account the time value of money.
  4. It is easy to understand and implement.
Question 6 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the formula for calculating the benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of a project?

  1. BCR = (Total benefits) / (Total costs)
  2. BCR = (Total benefits - Total costs) / (Total costs)
  3. BCR = (Total benefits) / (Initial investment)
  4. BCR = (Total benefits - Total costs) / (Initial investment)
Question 7 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which of the following is NOT a type of cost-benefit analysis?

  1. Cost-effectiveness analysis
  2. Cost-utility analysis
  3. Multi-criteria decision analysis
  4. Sensitivity analysis
Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the difference between an annuity and a perpetuity?

  1. An annuity is a series of equal cash flows that occur at regular intervals for a finite period of time, while a perpetuity is a series of equal cash flows that occur at regular intervals forever.
  2. An annuity is a series of equal cash flows that occur at regular intervals for an infinite period of time, while a perpetuity is a series of equal cash flows that occur at regular intervals for a finite period of time.
  3. An annuity is a series of unequal cash flows that occur at regular intervals for a finite period of time, while a perpetuity is a series of equal cash flows that occur at regular intervals forever.
  4. An annuity is a series of unequal cash flows that occur at regular intervals for an infinite period of time, while a perpetuity is a series of equal cash flows that occur at regular intervals for a finite period of time.
Question 9 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the formula for calculating the present value of an annuity?

  1. PV = CF * [(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]
  2. PV = CF * [(1 + r)^n - 1] / r
  3. PV = CF * [(1 + r)^n - 1] / (1 + r)^n
  4. PV = CF * [(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / (1 + r)^n]
Question 10 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which of the following is NOT a type of depreciation?

  1. Straight-line depreciation
  2. Declining-balance depreciation
  3. Sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation
  4. Annuity depreciation
Question 11 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the formula for calculating the annual depreciation expense using the straight-line method?

  1. Depreciation expense = (Initial cost - Salvage value) / Useful life
  2. Depreciation expense = (Initial cost + Salvage value) / Useful life
  3. Depreciation expense = (Initial cost - Salvage value) * Useful life
  4. Depreciation expense = (Initial cost + Salvage value) * Useful life
Question 12 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which of the following is NOT a factor that affects the cost of capital?

  1. Risk
  2. Inflation
  3. Taxes
  4. Depreciation
Question 13 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the formula for calculating the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)?

  1. WACC = (Cost of debt * Debt ratio) + (Cost of equity * Equity ratio)
  2. WACC = (Cost of debt * Debt ratio) + (Cost of equity * (1 - Debt ratio))
  3. WACC = (Cost of debt * (1 - Debt ratio)) + (Cost of equity * Equity ratio)
  4. WACC = (Cost of debt * (1 - Debt ratio)) + (Cost of equity * (1 - Equity ratio))
