Question

4. Modified internal rate of return (MIRR) Aa Aa The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. However, in reality the reinvested cash flows may not necessarily generate a return equal to the IRR. Thus, the modified IRR approach makes a more reasonable assumption other than the project's IRR. Consider the following situation: Grey Fox Aviation Company is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $550,000. The project's expected cash flows are: Year Cash Flow Year 1 $275,000 Year 2 -100,000 Year 3 500,000 Year 4425,000 Grey Fox Aviation Company's WACC is 10%, and the project has the same risk as the firm's average project. Calculate this project's modified internal rate of return (MIRR): 21.69% 22.73% 20.66% 24.79% If Grey Fox Aviation Company's managers select projects based on the MIRR criterion, they should independent project. this Which of the following statements best describes the difference between the IRR method and the MIRR method? O The IRR method uses the present value of the initial investment to calculate the IRR. The MIRR method uses O The IRR method uses only cash inflows to calculate the IRR. The MIRR method uses both cash inflows and O The IRR method assumes that cash flows are reinvested at a rate of return equal to the IRR. The MIRR method the terminal value of the initial investment to calculate the MIRR. cash outflows to calculate the MIRR. assumes that cash flows are reinvested at a rate of return equal to the cost of capital
