81. Los Angeles Lumber Company (LALC) is considering a project with a cost of $1,000 at t = 0 and inflows of $300 at
the end of Years 1-5. LALC‘s cost of capital is 10 percent. What is the project’s modified IRR (MIRR)?

82. Capitol City Transfer Company is considering building a new terminal in Salt Lake City. If the company goes ahead
with the project, it must spend $1 million immediately (at t = 0) and another $1 million at the end of Year 1 (t = 1). It
will then receive net cash flows of $0.5 million at the end of Years 2-5, and it expects to sell the property and net $1
million at the end of Year 6. All cash inflows and outflows are after taxes. The company‘s required rate of return is
12 percent, and it uses the modified IRR criterion for capital budgeting decisions. What is the project’s modified IRR
(MIRR)?
a. 11.9%
b. 12.0%
c. 11.4%

83. Houston Inc. is considering a project which involves building a new refrigerated warehouse which will cost
$7,000,000 at t = 0 and which is expected to have operating cash flows of $500,000 at the end of each of the next 20
years. However, repairs which will cost $1,000,000 must be incurred at the end of the 10th year. Thus, at the end of
Year 10 there will be a $500,000 operating cash inflow and an outflow of $1,000,000 for repairs. If Houston’s
required rate of return is 12 percent, what is the project’s MIRR? (Hint: Think carefully about the MIRR equation
and the treatment of cash outflows.)

85. International Transport Company is considering building a new facility in Seattle. If the company goes ahead with the
project, it will spend $2 million immediately (at t = 0) and another $2 million at the end of Year 1(t = 1). It will then
receive net cash flows of $1 million at the end of Years 2-5, and it expects to sell the property for $2 million at the end
of Year 6. The company’s required rate of return is 12 percent, and it uses the modified IRR criterion for capital
budgeting decisions. Which of the following statements is most correct?
a. The project should be rejected because the modified IRR is less than the regular IRR.
b. The project should be accepted because the modified IRR is greater than the required rate of return.
c. The regular IRR is less than the required rate of return. Under this condition, the modified IRR will also be
less than the regular IRR.
d. If the regular IRR is less than the required rate of return, then the modified IRR will be greater than the
regular IRR.
e. Given the data in the problem, the NPV is negative. This demonstrates that the modified IRR criterion is not
always a valid decision method for projects such as this one.
