Question

Zebco Inc is evaluating a project that has a cost of $1,000 and will produce end-of-year net cash inflows of $500 per year for 3 years. The required rate of return for this project's is 10 percent. The difference between the project's IRR and its MIRR is closest to:_________.
a. 5.09%
b. ​5.75%
c. ​4.31%

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 5.09%

Explanation:

initial outlay = -$1,000

cash flow 1 = $500

cash flow 2 = $500

cash flow 3 = $500

the simplest way to determine the IRR and MIRR is to use an excel spreadsheet and the IRR and MIRR functions:

IRR = 23.38%

in order to us the MIRR formula, we must use the 10% rate as both financing and reinvestment rates.  

MIRR = 18.29%

difference between them = 23.38% - 18.29% = 5.09%
