Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 Year Cash Flow 0                        -32,25,000.00 1                           3,00,000.00 2                          -2,00,000.00 3                           4,50,000.00 4                           5,00,000.00 Total                        -21,75,000.00 Calculation of MIRR using Excel MIRR(Series of payment,Financing rate(Cost of Capital),Reinvesting Rate) MIRR((-32,25,000,300000,-200000,450000,500000)),.08,.08) -20.40% Ans 2 Reject the project Since the MIRR is -ve . To be capable of getting accepted MIRR should be atleast higher than WACC of the Project. Ans 3 a. A typical firm’s IRR will be greater than it’s MIRR MIRR assumes that the intermediary cash flows are reinvested at the firm's cost of capital rather than IRR, which is highly improbable considering the diminishing rate of return on additional capital
