MIRR
Business executives often prefer to work with
-Select-dollarpercentageCorrect 1 of Item 1 rates of return, so to
overcome some of the IRR's limitations the modified IRR was
devised. The MIRR equation is:
While the IRR's reinvestment rate assumption is the IRR, the
MIRR's reinvestment rate assumption is the project's
-Select-WACCNPVMIRRCorrect 2 of Item 1. As a result, the MIRR is
generally a better indicator of a project's true
-Select-BreakevenliquidityriskprofitabilityCorrect 3 of Item 1 than
IRR. Unlike the IRR, there can -Select-alwaysneverCorrect 4 of Item
1 be more than one MIRR, and the MIRR can be compared with the
project's -Select-WACCNPVcostCorrect 5 of Item 1 when deciding to
accept or reject projects. For -Select-dependentindependentCorrect
6 of Item 1 projects, the NPV, IRR, and MIRR always reach the same
accept/reject conclusion; so the three criteria are equally good
when evaluating -Select-dependentindependentCorrect 7 of Item 1
projects. If projects are mutually exclusive and they differ in
size, conflicts in project acceptance -Select-cannotcanCorrect 8 of
Item 1 arise. In these cases, the -Select-IRRNPVMIRRCorrect 9 of
Item 1 is the best decision method because it selects the project
that maximizes firm value.
Quantitative Problem: Bellinger Industries is
considering two projects for inclusion in its capital budget, and
you have been asked to do the analysis. Both projects' after-tax
cash flows are shown on the time line below. Depreciation, salvage
values, net operating working capital requirements, and tax effects
are all included in these cash flows. Both projects have 4-year
lives, and they have risk characteristics similar to the firm's
average project. Bellinger's WACC is 7%.
