8. Modified internal rate of return (MIRR) AaAa The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. Howe ver, in reality the reinvested cash flows may not necessarily generate a return equal to the IRR. Thus, the modified IRR approach makes a more reasonable assumption other than the project's IRR. Consider the following situation: Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment o $550,000. The project's expected cash flows are: Year Cash Flo Year 1 $300,000 Year 2 -175,000 Year 3 425,000 Year 4 425,000 Cold Goose Metal works Inc.'s WACC is 7%, and the project has the same risk as the firm's average project. Calculate this project's modified internal rate of return (MIRR): 17.73% 12.34% O 15.42% O 16.96%
