Appendix A – The Modified Internal Rate of Return
• The MIRR is used on projects with non-conventional cash flows
• The cash flows are modified first and then the IRR is calculated using the modified cash flows
• There are three MIRR methods that are used:• The Discounting Approach• The Reinvestment Approach• The Combination Approach

MIRR Method #1The Discounting Approach
• All negative cash flows are discounted back to the present at the required return and added to the initial cost.
• From the previous non-conventional cash flow example, we had a required return of 15% and:
Year 0 -$90,000
Year 1 $132,000
Year 2 $100,000
Year 3 -$150,000

MIRR Example - Continued
• Using Method #1, the cash flow at year 3 would be discounted back to year 0 at 15%
• The cash flows would look like this: Year 0: -$90,000 - $150,000/(1.153)
= -$188,627.43 Year 1: $132,000 Year 2: $100,000 Year 3: $0• MIRR using Method #1 is 15.77%

MIRR Method #2The Reinvestment Approach
• All cash flows (positive and negative) except the first are compounded out to the end of the project’s life and then the IRR is calculated
• The cash flows would look like this:
Year 0: -$90,000
Year 1: $0
Year 2: $0
Year 3: $-$150,000 + $100,000(1.15) + $132,000(1.152)
• MIRR using Method #2 is 15.75%

MIRR Method #3The Combination Approach
• All negative cash flows are discounted back to the present and all positive cash flows are compounded out to the end of the project’s life
• The cash flows would look like this:Year 0: -$90,000 - $150,000/(1.153)
= -$188,627.43Year 1: $0Year 2: $0Year 3: $100,000(1.15) + $132,000(1.152)
= $289,570• MIRR using Method #2 is 15.36%

MIRR vs. IRR
• MIRR can handle non-conventional cash flows, where as the IRR can’t
• But there are problems with MIRR:• There are three methods, and three different MIRRs.
Which MIRR is correct? The differences could be larger on a more complex project
• MIRR is a rate of return on a modified set of cash flows, not the project’s actual cash flows
• Since the MIRR depends on an externally supplied discount rate, the result is not truly an “internal” rate of return
