Default IRR / MIRR and Perpetuity

Yes, we're saying it won't work for a perpetuity. There has to be a finite
number of cash flows for IRR to calculate the return.

If your cash flow is level forever, the IRR is simply:

=CashFlow/InitialInvestment

Are you saying it won't work for a perpetuity? If so, how I do I calculate
the IRR for a very long-term investment without creating the individual
cash-flows?

Thanks.

The MIRR will not make any projections. Given a finite set of cash
flows it will tell you what the IRR is for the specific set of cash
flows.

Does this help?

Hello,

I'd like to calculatet the MIRR of an investment, but am a bit confused:

I have the intial outlay in year 0, and the subsequent cashflows for the
next 10 years.... What about the cashflows for the years beyond the 10th?


Thanks
