NET PRESENT VALUE Contd..

Let IRR be r. Equation to calculate internal rate of return for the cash flow streams given above will be

= – (1 + r)2 + 7(1 + r) – 12 = 0
=

=r2 – 5r + 6 = 0
= (r – 2)(r – 3) = 0
= r = 2 or 3

As there are changes in signs, there are two roots of the equation. So, there are two internal rates of return for the project. Which one should be taken for the appraisal becomes difficult for appraiser to difficult?

MODIFIED INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN (MIRR)

Even though NPV is a better method conceptually than the IRR method, most managers prefer IRR over NPV since IRR is a percentage measure. A percentage measure that overcomes the shortcomings of regular IRR is known as modified internal rate of return (MIRR).

The procedure for calculating MIRR is given below:

Step 1: Calculate the present value of the costs (PVC) associated with the project, using the cost of capital (r) as the discount rate:


Step 2: Calculate the terminal value (TV) of the cash inflows expected from the project:


Step 3: Obtain MIRR by solving the following equation:

PVC = TV/(1 + MIRR)n
