Answer 1

Answer:

C. NPV is the discounted present value of a project's expected future accounting net income at the required return, subtracting the initial investment.

Explanation:

NPV means Net Present Value, this is calculated by computing the present value of cash returns and not the accounting income, as accounting income takes in account non cash items also, although while computing returns the non cash transactions are not considered.

Therefore the chosen statement which states about accounting income less initial investment is false as even in case the project requires additional mid term investment then that is also considered.

Thus, false statement is

Statement C
