$4.$ Modified internal rate of return $($MIRR$)$

The IRR evaluation method assumes that cash flows from the project are reinvested at the same rate equal to the IRR. However, 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:

Average $/3$

Grey Fox Aviation Company is analyzing a project that requires an initial investment of $$600,000.$ The project's expected cash flows are:

Year

Year $1$

Year $2$

Year $3$

Year $4$

Cash Flow

$$350,000$

$-100,000$

$450,000$

$500,000$

Grey Fox Aviation Company's WACC is $9\%,$ and the project has the same risk as the firm's average project. Calculate this project's modified internal rate

of return $($MIRR$)$:
