The net present value method is considered the most theoretically correct decision criteria because of all the following EXCEPT It allows the comparison of benefits and costs of a project's estimated cash flows in a logical manner through the use of time value of money principles it requires a detailed forecast of a project's future expected cash flows (ie, benefits and costs) it assumes all intermittent cash flows can be reinvested at the firm's cost of capital, which is a more realistic reinvestment assumption than a projects IRR

The net present value method is considered the most theoretically correct decision criteria because of all the following EXCEPT

It allows the comparison of benefits and costs of a project's estimated cash flows in a logical manner through the use of time value of money principles

it requires a detailed forecast of a project's future expected cash flows (ie, benefits and costs)

it assumes all intermittent cash flows can be reinvested at the firm's cost of capital, which is a more realistic reinvestment assumption than a projects IRR.

it provides the dollar amount by which positive (negative) NPV projects will increase (decrease) the value of the firm which is consistent with the goal of shareholder wealth maximization.
