A project has a series of non-normal cash flows that result in a terminal value (TV) of $120,000 in 5 years.If the project's initial costs are $33,000,what is your recommendation to management regarding this project (accept/reject) ?

A) accept as the MIRR is 29.50
B) reject as the MIRR is greater than zero
C) accept as the terminal value is greater than the present value of the costs
D) accept as the MIRR is 38.95%

Terminal Value

An estimate of a business's value at the end of the projection period in a discounted cash flow analysis.

Non-normal Cash Flows

Cash flows that do not follow a regular or predictable pattern over time, often seen in investments with variable returns.

Initial Costs

Initial expenses required to start a project, including setup, acquisition, or investment costs.

  • Understand the concept and application of Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR).
  • Understand the significance of the terminal value in project evaluation.
  • Compare initial costs with terminal values to make project decisions.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The MIRR (Modified Internal Rate of Return) is a measure of the profitability of a project that considers the time value of money and assumes that cash flows are reinvested at a certain rate. A MIRR of 29.50 indicates that the project is expected to generate a return of 29.50% per year, which is higher than the cost of capital (the rate of return required to justify the investment). Therefore, the project should be accepted. The fact that the terminal value is greater than the present value of the costs is also a positive sign, but it's not sufficient to justify the decision on its own. Similarly, the fact that the MIRR is greater than zero doesn't provide enough information to make a recommendation. The MIRR of 38.95% mentioned in choice D is incorrect, as it's not provided in the question.
