A mining company is deciding whether to open a strip mine with an initial outlay at t = 0 of $2 million. Cash inflows of $13.5 million would occur at the end of Year 1. The land must be returned to its natural state so there is a cash outflow of $12.5 million, payable at the end of Year 2.

1. Select the project's NPV profile. What is the correct sketch?

   

2. Should the project be accepted if WACC = 10%?

   Should the project be accepted if WACC = 20%?

3. What is the project's MIRR at WACC = 10%? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

   What is the project's MIRR at WACC = 20%? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.

   Does MIRR lead to the same accept/reject decision for this project as the NPV method?

   Does the MIRR method always lead to the same accept/reject decision as NPV? (Hint: Consider mutually exclusive projects that differ in size.)
