Solution

The statement D is FALSE. While it's true that both the IRR (Internal Rate of Return) and NPV (Net Present Value) methods are used to evaluate the profitability of investments, they don't always lead to the same decision. This is because the IRR method assumes that the cash flows from a project are reinvested at the project's IRR, while the NPV method assumes that the cash flows are reinvested at the firm's cost of capital. These different assumptions can lead to different decisions, especially for mutually exclusive projects.
