MIRR

Mmichael1301199113y ago
for MIRR calculation:

Investment phase= investment only (e.g; 600 invested for machinery) or investment less capital allowance

Time of project: 1/n......is n equal to the duration of the project told (e.g; cash flows over 4 years) or do we use the entire duration (e.g; where because tax is paid 1 years in arrears-5 years)

Finally, Issue cost pf finance (debt and equity)-do we include this in our cash flow forecast to find present value of return and investment phase?

Note: The reason i asked is because several question in the BPP kit used but methods described about-so for december 2012, which one would our examiner perfer? thanks

1) investment only, coz capital allowance is operating cash flow (after contribution)
2) n= 4 years (project life)
3) issue cost is financing side effect, separate beta, therefore not included

I saw from OpenTuition notes, n= project life, but I did a question 'Neptune', n= project life + 1

n is the number of years of the project (as per the examiner).

In Neptune the cash flows resulting from the project occur for six years.
