10. Cashflow patterns and the modified rate of return calculation Sharp Manufacturing Inc. is analyzing a project with the following projected cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 1 2 -$1,324,800 300,000 450,000 546,000 360,000 3 4 This project exhibits conventional cash flows Sharp's desired rate of return is 8.00%. Given the cash flows expected from the company's new project, compute the project's anticipated modified Internal rate of return (MIRR) (Hint: Round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar, and your final MIRR value to two decimal places.) 7.43% 7.87% 8.74% 9.61% Sharp's managers are generally conservative, and select projects based solely on the project's modified internal rate of return (MIRR). Should the company's managers accept this independent project? Sharp's managers are generally conservative, and select projects based solely on the project's modified Internal rate of return (MIRR). Should the company's managers accept this independent project? No Yes You've just learned that the analyst who assembled the project's projected cash flow information used above didn't know his inflows from his outflondi. You've reexamined the source data and determined that the revised annual cash flow information should be: Year Cash Flow 0 1 2 -$1,381,250 375.000 -250,000 600,000 400.000 3 4 Again, if Sharp's desired rate of return is 8.00%, then the project's revised modified internal rate of return (MIRR) should be Round all dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar, and your final MIRR value to two decimal places.) (Hint If, again, Sharp's managers continue to exhibit their general conservatism and select their investment projects based only on the projects MIRR, should they accept the project? No Yes
