Tedder mining has analyzed a proposed expansion project and determined that the internal rate of return is lower than the firm desires. which one of the following changes to the project would be most expected to increase the project's internal rate of return?
a. decreasing the required discount rate.
b. increasing the initial investment in fixed assets.
c. condensing the firm's cash inflows into fewer years without lowering the total amount of those inflows.
d. eliminating the salvage value.
e. decreasing the amount of the final cash inflow.

C) Condensing the firm's cash inflows into fewer years without lowering the total amount of those inflows.

Explanation:

When you determine the net present value of project, the longer the project, the lower the present value of its cash flows. A way to try to increase the NPV of a project is to try to shorten its life span without reducing the value of its cash flows.

This sounds much simpler than it is. Since your project should produce cash flows in a shorter time, you will have to probably shorten the time periods of some activities, e.g. building new facilities, research and development, etc.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
