Theoretical investigations of the electronic band structure and ferromagnetism of CeMnNi₄ have been performed by means of LSDA approach. Recent experiments show that this compound has relatively large transport spin polarization (of about 66%) that is in contradiction with present LSDA results. Calculated full magnetic moment of 4.88 µ_B is in good agreement with determined experimentally value. Since a parent compound CeNi₅ is a Pauli paramagnet, the ferromagnetic ordering in the ground state should arise due to the ordering of the high Mn²⁺ magnetic moments. This fact is confirmed by present calculations.
