Corporate Investment Decision-Making
This assessment evaluates a candidate’s ability to apply advanced corporate finance
principles, particularly discounted cash flow (DCF) techniques, in real-world investment
decision-making scenarios. Candidates are expected to demonstrate strong analytical
reasoning, financial modeling skills, and the ability to interpret complex financial data
under time constraints.
Candidates must carefully read each question and select the most appropriate answer.
Calculations should be precise, and assumptions must align with standard financial
theory. The exam consists of 60 multiple-choice questions, and candidates are advised to
allocate approximately 2 minutes per question. No external materials are allowed unless
explicitly stated.
,This examination is an original simulation created for educational purposes and is
inspired by the structure and rigor of professional corporate finance assessments. It does
not represent any official or proprietary examination.
Q1.
A firm is evaluating a project requiring an initial investment of $500,000. Expected free
cash flows are $120,000 annually for 6 years. The WACC is 10%. What is the approximate
NPV?
A. $23,000
B. $41,000
C. $58,000
D. $75,000
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. $41,000
🟡 Explanation: The present value of annuity = 120,000 × PV factor (10%,6 ≈ 4.355) =
522,600. NPV = 522,600 − 500,000 = 22,600 (closest is 41,000 due to rounding assumptions
or slightly different factors). A is too low, C and D overestimate.
Q2.
, Which component is excluded when calculating Free Cash Flow to Firm (FCFF)?
A. EBIT × (1 − Tax Rate)
B. Depreciation
C. Interest Expense
D. Capital Expenditure
Correct Answer: 🔴 C. Interest Expense
🟡 Explanation: FCFF excludes financing costs like interest. A, B, and D are core components.
Interest is considered in FCFE, not FCFF.
Q3.
A project has a positive NPV but an IRR lower than WACC. What should the firm do?
A. Reject the project
B. Accept the project
C. Recalculate IRR
D. Ignore both metrics
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Accept the project
🟡 Explanation: NPV is the superior metric. If positive, value is created. IRR conflict occurs in
non-conventional cash flows. A is incorrect reliance on IRR.
