    Question

    A pharmaceutical company is evaluating a project with a

    15-year horizon. The management is concerned about the time value of money and the project's long gestation period. Which capital budgeting technique is most suitable in such long-term evaluations?
    A Payback Period Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Accounting Rate of Return Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Profitability Index Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Internal Rate of Return Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Net Present Value Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    NPV is best suited for evaluating long-term projects because it considers the time value of money and gives absolute value addition. IRR may give misleading results when cash flows are unconventional.
