MIRR calculation:
Terminal Value = FV
N = 5; I = 14%; PMT = 2000; FV = $13,220.208
PV of cost = -$6,000

Cumulative CF: -6,000 -4,000 -2,000 0 2,000 4,000
Project B:
CF0 = -18000; CF1-5 = 5600; I/YR = 14.
MIRR calculation:
Terminal Value = NFV
N = 5; I = 14%; PMT = 5600; FV = $37,016.583
PV of cost = -$18,000
b. If the projects are independent, both projects would be accepted since both of their NPVs are positive.
c. If the projects are mutually exclusive then only one project can be accepted, so the project with the
highest positive NPV is chosen. Accept Project B.
Q2) Since the IRR is the discount rate at which the NPV of a project equals zero, the project’s inflows can be
evaluated at the IRR and the present value of these inflows must equal the initial investment.
Therefore, the initial investment for this project is $65,002.11. Using a calculator, the project's NPV at the
firm’s WACC can now be solved.
At a discount rate of 5%, Project A has the higher NPV; consequently, it should be accepted.
At a discount rate of 15%, Project B has the higher NPV; consequently, it should be accepted.

g. MIRRA:
Terminal Value = NFV
CF0 = 0; CF1 = 5000; CF2 = 10000; CF3 = 15000; CF4 = 20000; I = 10%, NFV = $55,255
PV of cost = -$25,000
MIRRB:
Terminal Value = NFV
CF0 = 0; CF1 = 20000; CF2 = 10000; CF3 = 8000; CF4 = 6000; I = 10%, NFV = $53,520
PV of cost = -$25,000
According to the MIRR approach, if the 2 projects were mutually exclusive, Project A would be
chosen because it has the higher MIRR. This is consistent with the NPV approach.
Examples
Q1) a. Project X: CF0 = -10,000, CF1 = 6,500, CF2 = 3,000, CF3 = 3,000, CF4 = 1,000,
NPV = $966.012. IRR = 18.03%
Project Y: CF0 = -10,000, CF1 = 3,500, CF2 = 3,500, CF3 = 3,500, CF4 = 3,500,
NPV = $630.72. IRR = 14.96%
MIRR:
Project X:
Terminal Value = NFV
CF0 = 0, CF1 = 6,500, CF2 = 3,000, CF3 = 3,000, CF4 = 1,000, NFV = $17,255.232
Project Y:
Terminal Value = NFV
CF0 = 0, CF1 = 3,500, CF2 = 3,500, CF3 = 3,500, CF4 = 3,500, NFV = $16,727.648
Payback Period:
Project X:
Project Y:
b. All methods rank Project X over Project Y. In addition, both projects are acceptable under the NPV, IRR, and
MIRR criteria. Thus, both projects should be accepted if they are independent.
c. When the projects are mutually exclusive, we would choose the project with the higher NPV i.e. Project X.
d. Calculating incremental cash flows: CF0 = 0, CF1 = 3000, CF2 = -500, CF3 = -500, CF4 = -2500,
Crossover rate = IRR of incremental cash flows = 6.21%
Q2) The IRR is the discount rate at which the NPV of a project equals zero. Since we know the project’s initial
investment, its IRR, the length of time that the cash flows occur, and that each cash flow is the same, then we can
determine the project’s cash flows by setting it up as a 10-year annuity.
N = 10, I = 12, PV = -1000, PMT = $176.98.
Project’s MIRR:
Terminal Value = FV of inflows:
N = 10, I = 10, PV = 0, and PMT = -176.98. FV = $2,820.61.
N = 10, PV = -1000, PMT = 0, and FV = 2820.61, I = MIRR = 10.93%.
