Your firm is considering a project that will cost $ 4.548 million up front, generate cash flows of $ 3.50 million per year for

Alika [10]

Answer:

(a) It will have multiple IRRs

(b) The MIRR calculated is 10.18% . Going by MIRR result , this project will only generate returns that is equal to cost of capital(10%) .If there are other avaible more viable projects, it should be rejected ( Please see attached computation).

Explanation:

(a) The multiple IRRs occurs when cash flows change sign and result in more than one value for the IRR.

Application of IRR to value an investment is only suitable when the project has normal cash flows, i.e a negative initial cash flow (i.e initial investment) followed by a series of positive cash flows.

In this scenario, we have negative cash flow of $6m in year 4 which occured after positive cash flow of $3.5m per year from year 1 to 3. This typically make IRR unreliable. To overcome this limitation , we can use Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR)

(b) Please see attached for more details.

$84,360.00

Explanation:

The cash balance at the end of the year is simply total cash receipts minus total cash payments which is further analyzed below:

Cash receipt from sales=total sales-accounts receivable=$250,000-$18,900=$ 231,100.00

Cash paid for merchandise purchase=purchases-accounts payable=$96,000-$27,000=$69,000

Salaries paid $12,700

Cash from owners is $14,000

cash from borrowing is $14,000

interest paid is $3800

insurance paid is $7,800

Tax paid=(sales-purchases-salaries paid-insurance cost(one year)-interest paid)*tax rate

insurance for one year=$7800*1/2=$3,900

tax paid=($250,000-$96,000-$12,700-$3,800-$3,900)*40%=$53440

Cash balance=$231,100-$69,000-$12,700+$14,000-$14,000-$3800-$7800-$53440=$84,360.00
