Internal-Rate-of-Return MethodInternal-Rate-of-Return Method

• The internal rate of return is the true economic return earned by the asset over its life.

• The internal rate of return is computed by finding the discount rate that will cause the net present value of a project to be zero.

Future cash flows are the same every year in this example, so we can calculate the

internal rate of return as follows:

Investment required Investment required Net annual cash flowsNet annual cash flows = Present value factor= Present value factor

$104, 320 $104, 320 $20,000$20,000 == 5.2165.216

16-12


$104, 320 $104, 320 $20,000$20,000 = 5.216= 5.216

The present value factor (5.216) is located on the Table IV in the Appendix. Scan the 10-

period row and locate the value 5.216. Look at the top of the column and you find a rate of

14% which is the internal rate of return.

Comparing the NPV and IRR Comparing the NPV and IRR MethodsMethods

Internal Rate of Return The cost of capital is

compared to the internal rate of return on a project.

To be acceptable, a project’s rate of return must be greater than the cost of capital.

Net Present Value The cost of capital is

used as the actual discount rate.

Any project with a negative net present value is rejected.

• The discount rate generally is associated with the company’s cost of capital.

• The cost of capital involves a blending of the costs of all sources of investment funds, both debt and equity.

Managerial Accountant’s RoleManagerial Accountant’s Role

Managerial accountants are often asked to predict cash flows related to operating cost

savings, additional working capital requirements, and incremental costs and

revenues.

When cash flow projections are very uncertain, the accountant may . . .

1. increase the hurdle rate,

2. use sensitivity analysis.
