Butler International Limited is evaluating a project in Erewhon. The project will create the following cash flows:
Year Cash Flow
1 ....... -$ 950,000
2 ....... 285,000
3 ....... 345,000
4 ....... 415,000
5 ....... 255,000
All cash flows will occur in Erewhon and are expressed in dollars. In an attempt to improve its economy, the Erewhonian government has declared that all cash flows created by a foreign company are “blocked” and must be reinvested with the government for one year. The reinvestment rate for these funds is 4 percent. If Butler uses a required return of 11 percent on this project, what are the NPV and IRR of the project? Is the IRR you calculated the MIRR of the project? Why or why not?
