Answer: Option E

Explanation:

A. Internal rate of return is calculated on the assumption that investor will reinvest the return earned, therefore it is compounded, hence, it is true.

B. The return that the investment gives is called IRR, hence if the return earned is more than return expected then the project will be accepted, thus option B is correct.

C. IRR is the rate at which NPV is calculated hence if the IRR is zero NPV is also zero. Thus, answer C is also correct.

D. If the rate earned is less than the return expected then the project will not be expected.

.

Hence all the options are correct.
