Which project should be favored?
Find the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) for a proposed project costing $5,489. Assume that the appropriate cost of capital for projects of this risk level, at this company is 11.46%, and the estimated cash flows for the life of the project are found in the table below. (If you calculate an MIRR of 20.22%, please enter 20.22 - do not include the % symbol, and use at least two decimal places).
