Syntax
Using the MIRR function
The standard Internal rate of return function (IRR) assumes all cash flows are reinvested at the same rate as the IRR.
The modified internal rate of return function (MIRR) accepts both the cost of investment (discount rate) and a reinvestment rate for cash flows received.
In the example shown, the formula in F6 is:
In this example, we assume that the reinvestment rate is the same as the cost of capital, so we set both thefinance_rateandreinvest_rateto the value in F4, which is 10%.
