K Internal rate of return and modified internal rate of return For the project shown in the following table,, calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) and modified internal rate of return (MIRR). If the cost of capital is 13.04%, indicate whether the project is acceptable according to IRR and MIRR. The project's IRR is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

The NPV of a project is negative when the discount rate at 8%, but is positive when the discount rate is at 6%, which of the following choices could be the IRR for the project? Select one: a.8% b.9% C.5% d.7%
There are two types of projects in the market: A (safer) and B (riskier). At time 1, the payoff of A will be either $500 (probability 0.75) or $300 (probability 0.25). The appropriate discount rate for project A is 12%. The minimum price A can accept is $350. The payoff of B will be either $800 (probability 0.2) or $100 (probability 0.8). The appropriate discount rate for project B is 20%. In this simple economy, there are 90% chance that the project will be A. Evaluate the funding situation, i.e., which type of project will be funded and the price, based on the following scenarios: If a bank can tell whether the entrepreneur is endowed with project A or B, but cannot stop A from switching to B after A has receive the fund. What is the maximum face value of loan that the bank can lend to A without incur any monitoring costs, i.e., A will not have incentive to switch to B given this incentive compatible amount of loan and limited liability.
A certain project has MARR= 15% . Ali is the project manager and wants to select the best appropriate alternative among alternative A with i* = 12% , and alternative B with i*= 12% . Which is the best alternative to consider? Select one: a. do nothing alternative b. both alternatives are accepted C. alternative A d. alternative B

Mike Riskless is considering two projects. He has estimated the IRR for each under three possible scenarios and assigned probabilities of occurrence to each scenario. State of Economy Probability Estimated BTIRR Investment I Estimated BTIRR Investment II Optimistic 0.20 0.15 0.20 Most likely 0.60 0.10 0.15 Pessimistic 0.20 0.05 0.05 1.00 Riskless is aware that the pattern of returns for Investment II looks very attractive relative to Investment I; however, he believes that Investment II could be more risky than Investment I. He would like to compare the two investments considering both the risk and return on each. Required: a. Compute BTIRR under each of the three possible scenarios. b. Compute variance and standard deviation of the IRRs.
