Internal Rate of Return Calculating Rate of Return Rate of Return Analysis

The document discusses calculating the internal rate of return (IRR) from both a lender's and investor's viewpoint. It provides examples of calculating IRR by setting the net present value equal to zero and solving for the discount rate. The document also discusses using tables, graphs, and numerical methods like Excel to find the interest rate that makes the present value of cash inflows equal the present value of cash outflows.

Internal Rate of Return
Lender’s Viewpoint
The interest rate on the balance of a loan such that
the unpaid loan balance equals zero when the
final payment is made.

Year Cash flow 1. We know that the PW of five


payments of $1252 are equivalent
0 -5000
to $5000 when interest rate is 8%.
1 +1252
2. At the end of 5 years, the
2 +1252
payments exactly repaid the
3 +1252 $5000 debt with interest rate 8%.
We say the lender received 8%
4 +1252
rate of return.
5 +1252
Internal Rate of Return
Investor’s Viewpoint
The interest rate earned on the unrecovered
investment such that the unrecovered
investment equals zero at the end of the life of
the investment.
Year Cash flow
1. Investment $5000 in a machine
0 -5000 with life time 5 years and an EUAC
of $1252, what is the interest rate
1 +1252
we receive on this investment?
2 +1252
2. The cash flow stream is with 8%
3 +1252 rate of return.

Calculating
Rate of Return
 The IRR is the interest rate at which the
benefits equal the costs.
 PW benefit – PW Cost = 0
 PW Benefit/PW Cost = 1
 NPW = 0
 EUAB – EUAC = 0
 PW Benefit = PW Cost
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

Suppose you have the following cash flow stream. You


invest $700, and then receive $100, $175, $250, and $325
at the end of years 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. What is the IRR
for your investment?
$325
$250
$100 $175

0 1 2 3 4
time

$700

700 = 100/(1+i) + 175/(1+i)2 + 250/(1+i)3 + 325/(1+i)4. 

It turns out that i = 6.9 %.

Ways to find the IRR
• Compound Interest Tables 2 3 4 time
0 1
•  Interest Tables and Interpolation
•  Graphically (see the graph of f(c)) $700
•  Numerically (Excel’s IRR, or other root finding methods).

NPW = -700 + 100/(1+i) + 175/(1+i)2 + 250/(1+i)3 + 325/(1+i)4. 


If you have a CFS with an investment
NPW

versus i will have the same general form. 30
It will decrease at a decreasing rate and 20

have a value 0 at some unique value i*. 10

Where the graph has a value 0 defines the IRR.

From Compound Interest Tables


PWB/PWC = 1 Interest rate (P/A,i,5)

1252(P/A,i,5)/5000 = 1 7% 4.100
8% 3.993
(P/A,i,5) = 5000/1252 = 3.993 9% 3.890

i=8%
Example 2 :Graphic solution

PW of costs = PW of benefits

100=20/(1+i)+30/(1+i)2+20/(1+i)3+40/(1+i)4+40/(1+i)5

NPW=-100+20/(1+i)+30/(1+i)2+20/(1+i)3+40/(1+i)4+40/(1+i)5

i=13.5%

Rate of Return Analysis
Example statements about a project: 
1. The net present worth of the project is $32,000. 
2. The equivalent uniform annual benefit is $2,800.
3. The project will produce a 23% rate of return

The third statement is perhaps most widely understood.

 Rate of return analysis is probably the most frequently


used analysis technique in industry.
 Its major advantage is that it provides a figure of merit that
is readily understood.
Rate of Return Analysis
 Most frequently used measure of merit in industry
 More accurately called Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
 Calculating ROR
 Where two mutually exclusive alternatives will provide
the same benefit, ROR is performed using an
incremental rate of return –ROR- on the difference
between the alternatives

Rate of Return Analysis
Motivating Example.
Banks 1 and 2 offer you the following Deals 1 and 2
respectively:

Deal 1.
Invest $2,000 today. At the end of years 1, 2, and 3 get $100,
$100, and $500 in interest; at the end of year 4, get $2,200
in principal and interest.
Deal 2:
Invest $2,000 today. At the end of years 1, 2, and 3 get $100,
$100, and $100 in interest; at the end of year 4, get $2,000 in
principal only.

Question. Which deal is the best?


Rate of Return Analysis
Deal 1:
Find out the implicit interest rate you would be receiving;
that is, solve for

2000 = 100/(1+i)1 + 100/(1+i)2 + 500/(1+i)3 + 2200/(1+i)4


IRR: i = 10.7844 %.

This is the interest rate for the PV of your payments to be $2,000.


Deal 2:
We find i for which

2000 = 100/(1+i)1 + 100/(1+i)2 + 100/(1+i)3 + 2000/(1+i)4


IRR: i = 3.8194%.

Which deal would you prefer?


Rate of Return Analysis
 Incremental cash flows for ROR analysis.
 The procedure
 Order the alternatives by initial investment or cost,
starting with smaller one
 Develop the cash flow and incremental cash flow, use
LCM if necessary
 Draw incremental cash flow diagram
 Set up PW and determine ΔROR
 Select the economically better alternatives
Practice 4

own business that are considered risky. Two alternative

a new flash drum. They are summarize in the table below.
By performing ROR analysis, determine which vendor
should be selected if the MARR is 15% per year.
