Reconsider Example 11.6, where the expected cash flows for the Capstone project arePeriod 0 1 2 3 4 5Cash Flow -$55,000 $17,094 $20,439 $20,069 $20,212 $29,660Suppose that Capstone consider the MicroCHP project to be just one of their normal risky projects. 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?
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 !!!

MIRR = ( in excel ) Rate ( 7,-20.8, xx.xx)
7.Where does the value of MIRR fall relative to the discount rate and IRR?
Basic NPV methods tell us that the value of a project today is NPV0. Time value of money issues also lead us to believe that if we choose not to do the project that it will be worth NPV1 one period from now, such that NPV0 > NPV1. Why then do we see some firms choosing to defer taking on a project?

- Q15. Which of the following is NOT potentially problematic for Internal Rate of Return (IRR)? Group of answer choices 1. IRR cannot cope with multiple future cash flows 2. It is assumed that intermediate cash flow can be reinvested at the same rate as the project IRR 3. IRR may produce nonsense answers when there is unconventional cash flow with more than one change of sign'. 4. When comparing 2 projects with very different sensitivity to the assumed discount rate, IRR may conflict with Net Present Valuearrow_forwardYiu are asked to evaluate a capital project (in million 0 1. 2 3 4 Cash flows 75 12 15 39 30 required return 10.0% what is the npv what is the IRR what is the modified internal rate of return what is the payback period would you recommend this projectarrow_forward45. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The definition of "normal" cash flows is that the cash flow stream has one or more negative cash flows followed by a stream of positive cash flows and then one negative cash flow at the end of the project's life. b. If a project has "normal" cash flows, then it will have exactly two real IRRs. c. If a project has "normal" cash flows, then it can have only one real IRR, whereas a project with "nonnormal" cash flows might have more than one real IRR. d. If a project has "normal" cash flows, then its IRR must be positive. e. If a project has "normal" cash flows, then its MIRR must be positive.arrow_forward

- 48. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Assume that the project being considered has normal cash flows, with one outflow followed by a series of inflows. a. A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the cash inflows at the WACC to find the present value (PV), then discounting the TV to find the IRR. b. If a project's IRR is smaller than the WACC, then its NPV will be positive. c. If a project's IRR is positive, then its NPV must also be positive. d. A project's IRR is the discount rate that causes the PV of the inflows to equal the project's cost. e. A project's regular IRR is found by compounding the initial cost at the WACC to find the terminal value (TV), then discounting the TV at the WACC.arrow_forward1. What is the project’s net present value? 2. What is the project’s internal rate of return to the nearest whole percent? 3. What is the project’s simple rate of return?arrow_forwardHi, please complete the left question sent earlier. Here is the remaining part of the question. 4. If the opportunity cost of capital is 10%, which projects have positive NPVs? How do you know? 5. “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? 6. 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_forward
- A company is analyzing two mutually exclusive projects, S and L, with thefollowing cash flows: The company’s WACC is 8.5%. What is the IRR of the better project? (Hint: The better projectmay or may not be the one with the higher IRR.)arrow_forwardQuestion 5: Find the net present value, interpret whether the NPV suggests you should accept or reject the project, find the payback period, find the discounted payback period, find the profitability index, interpret whether the profitability index suggests you should accept or reject the project, find the internal rate of return, explain whether the internal rate of return can repay the cost of borrowing money to conduct the project, find the modified internal rate of return, and explain with the modified internal rate of return can repay the cost of borrowing money to conduct the project. All for the following situation: The initial capital outlay is $175,000, the first-year annual operating cash flow is projected to be 20,000 but should grow by 5% per year during each of the project's 30 years, the after-tax-salvage cash flow is guessed to be $500,000, the required rate of return on this project is 15.50% and the company weighted average cost of capital is 12.50%.arrow_forward6. Assuming that their NPVs based on the firm's cost of capital are equal, the NPV of a project whose cash flows accrue relatively rapidly will be more sensitive to changes in the discount rate than the NPV of a project whose cash flows come in later in its life.
