Modified Internal Rate of Return

When there is more than one sign change (positive to negative or
negative to positive) in a series of cash flows, there is a potential for
more than one

IRR%. For example, the cash-flow sequence in the

following example has three sign changes and hence up to three
potential internal rates of return. (This particular example has three
positive real answers: 1.86, 14.35, and 29.02% monthly.)

The Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) procedure is an alternative
that can be used when your cash-flow situation has multiple sign
changes. The procedure eliminates the sign change problem by utilizing
reinvestment and borrowing rates that you specify. Negative cash flows
are discounted at a

safe rate that reflects the return on an investment in
