Actual exam question for IMANET's CMA exam

Question #: 105
Topic #: 6

A project requires an initial cash investment at its inception of $10,000, and no other cash outflows are necessary. Cash inflows from the project over its 3-year life are $6,000 at the end of the first year, $5,000 at the end of the second year, and $2,000 at the end of the third year. The future value interest factors for an amount of $1 at the firm's desired rate of return of 8% are

The present value interest factors for an amount of $1 for three periods are as follows:

The modified IRR (MIRR)for the project is closest to

A8%

B9%

C10%

D12%

I agree, 10% seems right based on those numbers!

Wait, how can the MIRR be 12% with those cash flows?

Definitely feels like it should be higher than 8%.

Initial investment is $10,000, cash inflows are $6,000, $5,000, and $2,000.

I feel like the answer might be around 10% based on the cash inflows, but I can't recall the exact calculation steps.

I’m a bit confused about how to apply the future value factors here. Did we use those in the practice problems?

I think the MIRR should be higher than the IRR since we have a negative cash flow at the start.

I remember we did a similar question on MIRR in class, but I’m not sure if I calculated it right.

I think I've got a good handle on this. I'll start by calculating the present value of each cash inflow, then add them up and compare to the initial investment. The MIRR should fall out from there.

Wait, what are the future value interest factors for? I thought we were supposed to be calculating present value. This question is tripping me up a bit.

No problem, I've got this! The key is to discount the cash inflows to their present value using the given factors, then compare that to the initial investment. Should be straightforward.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by all the interest factors and formulas. I'll have to review my notes on MIRR to make sure I'm approaching this correctly.

Okay, this looks like a classic time value of money problem. I'll need to calculate the present value of the cash inflows and compare it to the initial investment to determine the MIRR.

Hmm, the MIRR calculation seems tricky. I'd better double-check my work to make sure I get the right answer.

So, based on the cash flows and the required rate of return, we can calculate the MIRR to determine if the project is worth pursuing.

Janae

Yes, that's correct. The MIRR takes into account the cost of capital and reinvestment rate. It provides a more accurate picture of the project's profitability.

That's correct. It's a more accurate measure of profitability compared to IRR.

I think the MIRR calculation involves adjusting for the cost of financing. It's not just a simple IRR calculation.

Okay, let's see... The given information includes the initial cash investment, cash inflows over the project's 3-year life, and the future value interest factors. I think I can work this out.
