MIRR and IRR

Sshaojia15y ago
Hi John,

A basic question. Whats the assumption of MIRR, what rate does it reinvest in?

And what is the difference between IRR and MIRR?

Thanks.

MIRR assumes reinvestment at the cost of capital; IRR assumes reinvestment at the IRR.

That is the difference (and obviously the calculations are different!)

Sir, lets say we are having non conventional cash flow in a project, say yr 0 1000 outflow yr 1 and 2 1500 inflow yr 3 500 outflow should the yr 3 500 outflow under investment phase or return phase?

For the exam you would treat it as part of the return phase (although it is unlikely to happen in the exam).
