Net purchases amount to $800,000 per year. On average, what is the dollar amount of costly trade credit (total credit – free credit) the firm receives during the year? (Assume a 365-day year, and note that purchases are net of discounts.)

2. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
a. The NPV, IRR, MIRR, and discounted payback (using a payback requirement of 3 years or less) methods always lead to the same accept/reject decisions for independent projects.
b. If a firm uses the discounted payback method with a required payback of 4 years, then it will accept more projects than if it used a regular payback of 4 years.
c. The percentage difference between the MIRR and the IRR is equal to the project's WACC.
d. Multiple IRRs can exist, but not multiple MIRRs. This is one reason some people favor the MIRR over the regular IRR.
e. For mutually exclusive projects with normal cash flows, the NPV and MIRR methods can never conflict, but their results could conflict with the discounted payback and the regular IRR methods.
