IRR:
IRR is also called as
Decision for IRR rule:
MIRR:
MIRR is also called as modified internal rate of return. Under MIRR cash flows are reinvested at cost of capital. IRR assumes cash flows are reinvested at IRR, which is unrealistic, this was mitigated by the MIRR.
Calculate the MIRR as follows:
Decision for MIRR rule:
Cost of the project is $5,500 and cash inflows are $1,800 for four years. Cost of capital is 8%.

- What is the payback period on each of the above projects? Given that you wish to use the payback rule with a cutoff period of two years, which projects would you accept? Why? If you use a cutoff period of three years, which projects would you accept? Why? If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%, which projects have positive NPVs? How do you know? “If a firm uses a single cutoff period for all projects, it is likely to accept too many short-lived projects.” Is this statement true or false? How do you know? If the firm uses the discounted-payback rule, will it accept any negative NPV projects? Will it turn down any positive NPV projects? How do you know?arrow_forwardWhat is the internal rate of return (IRR) of a project that costs $20,070 if it is expected to generate $8,500 per year for three years?arrow_forwardWhat is the ERR for this project? Assume that = 12% and MARR = 20% per year. Is this project considered to be profitable? What is the simple payback period?arrow_forward
- Refer to the problem given in answering the following questions:(a) How long does it take to recover the investment?(b) If the firm's interest rate is 15%, what would be the discounted-paybackperiod for this project?arrow_forwardThe property is current selling for $400,000. You have forecasted, at the end of the fifth year we will assume the property will (or at least could) be sold for $500,000. If the required rate of return on projects of similar risk is 15%. ⦁ What is the net present value (NPV) of this investment project and should it be purchased? ⦁ What is the Internal Rate of Return offered by the project?arrow_forwardAssume an investment has an initial cost of $30,000 and future cash flows of $21,750, $18,500, and $12,500 for years 1 to 3, respectively. What is the NPV if the required return is 13 percent? Should the project be accepted or rejected?arrow_forward
- The James Company is considering an investment with a cost today of $1,500,000 and which will produce the following net inflows: Year 1 600,000 Year 2 300,000 Year 3 200,000 Year 4 400,000 Year 5 500,000 What is the Payback Period for the investment?arrow_forwardCute Camel Lumber Company is considering a three-year project that has a weighted average cost of capital of 10% and a net present value (NPV) of $85,647. Cute Camel Lumber Company can replicate this project indefinitely. What is the equivalent annual annuity (EAA) for this project? Do the projects need to be independent or mutually exlusive for an analyst to use the EAA approach to evaluate projects with unequal lives?arrow_forwardConsider two mutually exclusive alternatives and the do-nothing approach. Project X has an initial investment of $175 and annual positive cash flows of $65 for four years. Project Y has an initial investment of $88 and annual positive cash flows of $25 for four years. Determine the following: at what interest rates Project X would be attractive? at what interest rates would Project Y be attractive? at what interest rates would it be best to do nothing.arrow_forward
- (Payback period, net present value, profitability index, and internal rate of return calculations). You are considering a project with an initial cash outlay of$80,000 and expected free cash flows of$20,000 at the end of each year for six years. The required rate of return for this project is 10 percent. What are the project's payback and discounted payback periods? What is the project's NPV? What is the project's PI?arrow_forwardDiana, Industries is considering a project which has the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 ? 1 $4,000 2 4,000 3 3,000 4 1,500 The project has a payback period of 2.5 years. The firm’s cost of capital is 12 percent. What is the project’s net present value (NPV)? What does the NPV rule advice regarding this investment opportunity?arrow_forwardA firm evaluates a project with the following cash flows. The firm has a 2 year payback period criteria and a required return of 11 percent. Year Cash flow (OMR) -24,000 17,000 12,000 9,000 -8,000 11,000 1 3 4 11. What is the net present value for the project? 12. What is the payback period for the project? 13. What is the discounted payback period for the project? 14. What is the profitability index for the project? 15. Given your analysis, should the fim accept or reject the project?arrow_forward
