Question 42.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. Identifying an externality can never lead to an increase in the calculated NPV.
B. An externality is a situation where a project would have an adverse effect on some other part of the firm's overall operations. If the project would have a favorable effect on other operations, then this is not an externality.
C. Both the NPV and IRR methods deal correctly with externalities, even if the externalities are not specifically identified. However, the payback method does not.
D. The NPV method automatically deals correctly with externalities, even if the externalities are not specifically identified, but the IRR method does not. This is another reason to favor the NPV.
E. An example of an externality is a situation where a bank opens a new office, and that new office causes deposits in the bank's other offices to increase.

Correct / Incorrect
A. Identifying an externality can never lead to an increase in the calculated NPV.

Correct
B. An externality is a situation where a project would have an adverse effect on some other part of the firm's overall operations. If the project would have a favorable effect on other operations, then this is not an externality.
Externality has both positive and negative impact.
Incorrect
C. Both the NPV and IRR methods deal correctly with externalities, even if the externalities are not specifically identified. However, the payback method does not.
None of the methods considers externality
Incorrect
D. The NPV method automatically deals correctly with externalities, even if the externalities are not specifically identified, but the IRR method does not. This is another reason to favor the NPV.
