Question

RAK Corp. is evaluating a project with the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 –$ 30,000 1 12,200 2 14,900 3 16,800 4 13,900 5 – 10,400 The company uses an interest rate of 8 percent on all of its projects. Calculate the MIRR of the project using the discounting approach. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) MIRR % Calculate the MIRR of the project using the reinvestment approach. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) MIRR % Calculate the MIRR of the project using the combination approach. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) MIRR %

Explanation / Answer

MIRR of the project using Discounting Approach = 19.81%

MIRR of the project using investment method = 14.86%

MIRR of the project using combined method =13.54%

Discount rate = 8%

Let r be the MIRR which makes the total values of above flows equal to zero

-37,078.065 +12,200/(1+r) + 14,900/(1+r)^2 + 16,800/(1+r)^3 + 13,900/(1+r)^4 = 0

If r = 20%,then LHS of the equation will be

--37,078.065 +12,200/1.20 + 14,900/(1.2)^2 + 16,800/(1.2)^3 + 13,900/(1.2)^4

= --37,078.065 +12,200/1.20 + 14,900/1.44 + 16,800/1.728 + 13,900/2.0736

= -37078.065 + 10166.667 + 10347.222 + 9722.22 + 6703.317

= -138.639

If r = 19%, then LHS of the equal will be

--37,078.065 +12,200/1.19 + 14,900/(1.19)^2 + 16,800/(1.19)^3 + 13,900/(1.19)^4

= --37,078.065 +12,200/1.19 + 14,900/1.4161 + 16,800/1.685159 + 13,900/2.00533921

=-37078.065 +10252.101 +10521.856 +9969.386+6931.496

= 596.774

MIRR = 0.19 + {[(596.774)*(0.19 – 0.20)]/(-138.639-596.774)}

            = 0.19 + { (596.774 * -0.01)/(-735.413)}

            = 0.19 + (5.96774/735.413)

           = 0.19 + 0.0081148

           = 0.1981148   or 19.81% (rounded off)

For calculating adjusted value in investment method positive cash flows are multiplied by the future value factor at 8% to take it to the project end. That is the first flow is multiplied by fv factor FV (8,4) or 1.08^4 second one with FV(8,3) and so on. The sum is added to the project end

12200 * 1.08^4 + 14900 * 1.08^3 + 16800 * 1.08^2 + 13900 * 1.08

Let r is the MIRR which makes the modified cash flows equals zero. That is

-30,000 + 59975.194/(1+r)^5 = 0

59975.194/(1+r)^5 = 30000

(1+r)^5 =59975.194/30000

(1+r)^5 = 1.999173

1+r = (1.999173)^1/5 = 1.148603

r = 1.148603 – 1 = 0.148603 or 14.86%

Let r be IRR of the project which makes the modified cash flows equals zero

-37078.065 + 69975.194/(1+r)^5 = 0

69975.194/(1+r)^5 = 37078.065

1+r = (1.8872396)^1/5

        = 1.135443
