Question

(Calculating MIRR) OTR Trucking Company runs a fleet of long-haul trucks and has recently expanded into the Midwest, where it has decided to build a maintenance facility. This project will require an initial cash outlay of $18 million and will generate annual cash inflows of $3.5 million per year for Years 1 through 3. In Year 4, the project will provide a net negative cash flow of $48 million due to anticipated expansion of and repairs to the facility. During Years 5 through 10, the project will provide cash inflows of $1.8 million per year. a. Calculate the project's NPV and IRR where the discount rate is 11 percent. Is the project a worthwhile investment based on these two measures? Why or why not? b. Calculate the project's MIRR. Is the project a worthwhile investment based on this measure? Why or why not? a. The project's NPV where the discount rate is 1 1% is $ million. (Round to two decimal places )

Explanation / Answer

Ans a) Below table will provide the NPV of project.

To find NPV we will use discounting rate of 11% so the cashflow in year 0 will be equal to -18 Million/(1+ r) ^ n

where r is discounting rate and n is the respective year.

NPV = -$7.59 Million

IRR = -2%

Since NPV is negative and IRR is less than discount rate we will not pursue this investment opportunity.

Ans b)

MIRR is 6% but it is still less than discount rate that's why we will not pursue this investment opportunity.
