Question
Blue Llama Mining Company is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $3,225,000. The project’s expected cash flows are:
Year
|
Cash Flow
|
---|---|
Year 1 | $325,000 |
Year 2 | –100,000 |
Year 3 | 425,000 |
Year 4 | 500,000 |
1. Blue Llama Mining Company’s WACC is 7%, and the project has the same risk as the firm’s average project. Calculate this project’s modified internal rate of return (MIRR):
17.53%
-20.06%
22.14%
16.61%
2. If Blue Llama Mining Company’s managers select projects based on the MIRR criterion, they should accept or reject this independent project.
3. Which of the following statements about the relationship between the IRR and the MIRR is correct?
A typical firm’s IRR will be equal to its MIRR.
A typical firm’s IRR will be less than its MIRR.
A typical firm’s IRR will be greater than its MIRR.

The plant will cost $95.1 million up front and will take one year to build. After that it is expected to produce profits of $31.8 million at the end of every year of production. The cash flows are expected to last forever. Calculate the NPV of this investment opportunity if your cost of capital is 7.6%. Should you make the investment? Calculate the IRR and use it to determine the maximum deviation allowable in the cost of capital estimate to leave the decision unchanged. The NPV of the project will be $ million.
