(Calculating MIRR) OTR Trucking Company runs a fleet of long-haul trucks and has recently expanded into the Midwest, where it has decided to build a maintenance facility. This project will require an initial cash outlay of $18.5 million and will generate annual cash inflows of $4.2 million per year for Years 1 through 3. In Year 4, the project will provide a net negative cash flow of $5.5 million due to anticipated expansion of and repairs to the facility. During Years 5 through 10, the project will provide cash inflows of $1.4 million per year. a. Calculate the project's NPV and IRR where the discount rate is 11 percent. Is the project a worthwhile investment based on these two measures? Why or why not? b. Calculate the project's MIRR. Is the project a worthwhile investment based on this measure? Why or why not?
