Explanation / Answer

Using Function of Excel

Formula = MIRR(Values,finance rate, reinvest rate)

Project A

MIRR =MIRR({-1000,400,400,400,400},16%,16%)

MIRR = 19.31%

Project B

MIRR =MIRR({-1000,700,0,200,700},16%,16%)

MIRR = 19.29%

Decision : You must choose Project A as its MIRR is higher than Project B

Project A Project B 0 -1000 -1000 1 400 700 2 400 0 3 400 200 4 400 700 MIRR = 19.31% 19.29%
