When a firm’s cost of capital exceeds a project’s Internal Rate of Return (IRR), what is the status of the Net Present Value (NPV)?
💡 Explanation:The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the discount rate at which NPV equals zero. If the cost of capital (the required rate of return) is higher than the IRR, the project's discounted inflows will be less than the initial outlay, resulting in a negative NPV.

A firm has a current ratio of 2:1. If it uses cash to pay off a portion of its accounts payable, what is the effect on this ratio?
💡 Explanation:Since the current ratio is greater than 1:1, an equal reduction in both current assets (cash) and current liabilities (accounts payable) leads to a proportional increase in the ratio (e.g., 200/100 = 2.0; after paying 50, 150/50 = 3.0).

A company issues new stock to retire existing bonds. How does this affect its Debt-to-Equity ratio?
💡 Explanation:The Debt-to-Equity (D/E) ratio is calculated as Total Liabilities / Shareholders' Equity. When a company issues new stock (Equity uparrow), the denominator increases, and when it uses the proceeds to retire existing bonds (Liabilities downarrow), the numerator decreases. Both actions cause the ratio to fall. A lower D/E ratio indicates reduced financial leverage and typically lower financial risk.

A company increases long-term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending. What is the most likely financial effect?
💡 Explanation:High Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) spending, while reducing immediate cash flows (making option A and B incorrect in the short term), is strongly associated with long-term benefits. By establishing a positive reputation with stakeholders and the community, a company can reduce its risk of legal issues, boycotts, and regulatory fines. This reduction in non-financial/business risk translates into a lower overall risk profile, which in turn leads to a lower cost of capital (both equity and debt) and higher firm valuation in the long run.

A corporate asset writedown primarily indicates a reduction in which financial metric?
💡 Explanation:A writedown is an accounting procedure where the book value (or carrying amount) of an asset on the balance sheet is reduced to reflect a decline in its economic or fair market value. This adjustment is made when the asset is deemed impaired or no longer worth the value at which it is currently recorded. This loss is then reflected as an expense on the income statement.
