B. A PI = 1 describes a project with an NPV = 0.
C. Selection solely according to the NPV criterion will tend to favor larger rather than smaller investment projects.
D. When NPV = 0, the IRR exceeds the cost of capital.
E. Use of the PI criterion is especially appropriate for larger firms with easy access to capital markets.
