6.Calculate the project's Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR). What critical assumption does the MIRR make that differentiates it from the IRR?
TIP : look for the definition of Modified Internal Rate of Return, and then do it in excel, easy !!!

c. If you use a cutoff period of 3 years with the discounted payback rule, which projects would you accept?
d. Which projects have positive NPVs?
e. "Payback gives too much weight to cash flows that occur after the cutoff date." True or false?
1. Two projects being considered by a firm are independent and have the following projected cash flows: Project A Project B ($100,000) ($100,00) 50,000 50,000 50,000 Year 0 1 2 3 0 200,000 If the cost of the capital is 9%, which project(s) should be accepted? о Neither of them 0 Project A, because it has a shorter payback period. Both should be accepted because both projects have positive NPVs Project B, because it has a higher IRR.

Then the appropriate discount rate to use is 15%. However, Capstone considers the MicroCHP project to be much riskier than normal projects, so it believes an additional risk premium of 6.93% should be added. If management has decided to use a risk-adjusted discount rate of 21.93% to compensate for the uncertainty of the cash flows, is this project acceptable?arrow_forwardTrue or False Assume that the riskfree rate of return is 5% p.a. and that an investment project costs $150,000 and is expected to generate a risky net cash flow next year of $180,000.
