Fundamentals of Finance 11-19 Mining company evaluating strip mine. $2 Million cost to open $13 Million cash flow YR1 $12 Million cost to close and restore YR2 A) Plot project\'s NPV profile B) Should project be accepted if WACC - 10% Should project be accepted if WACC - 20% D) Projects MIRR at WACC - 10% Projects MIRR at WACC - 20% Solution If WACC is 10% we should reject the project since the NPV is less than zero which is -99174 But if the WACC is 20% then we should except the project since the NPV is greater than zero which is $500,000 MIRR @10% WACC: PV cost = $2000000 + $12,000,000 / (1.10)^2 = $11,917,355 FV inflow = $13,000,000 x 1.10 = 14,300,000 Using financial calculator we will input the value as N=2, PV = - 11917355, PMT = 0 and FV = 14300000 then solve for 1/YR = MIRR = 9.54% which is less then 10% we will reject the project. MIRR @20% WACC: PV cost = $2000000 + $12,000,000 / (1.20)^2 = 10,333,333 FV inflow = $13,000,000 x 1.20 = 15,600,000 Using financial calculator we will input the value as N=2, PV = - 10,333,333, PMT = 0 and FV = 15600000 then solve for 1/YR = MIRR = 22.87% which is greater then 20% we will accept the project. .
