Suppose for an investment of 10,000 you will receive payments at the end of each of the next four years in the amounts 2000, 3000, 4000 and 3000. What is the rate of return per year? (Use Newton's Method)
Let us assume that the rate of return per year is r
10,000 = 2000/(1+r) + 3000/(1+r)^2 + 4000/(1+r)^3 + 3000/(1+r)^4
To calculate r we use the internal rate of return (IRR) method in excel as shown below. We use the IRR() function to calculate r.
Year | Cash flow |
0 | -10000 |
1 | 2000 |
2 | 3000 |
3 | 4000 |
4 | 3000 |
IRR | 7.18% |
Required rate of return = 7.18%
Alternatively, we can calculate r by trial and error method. We can plug in the value of r and then see if the left side equals the right side. This is a time consuming process and hence we use the IRR function in excel

c. Suppose you invested $ 10,000 in this group of mutual funds and diversified the investment by placing $ 2000 in Domestic Equity funds, $ 4000 in International Equity funds, $ 3000 in Specialty Stock funds, and $ 1000 in Hybrid funds. What is the expected return on the portfolio?
An Investment is expected to result in equal payments of $7530.00 at the end of each month for the next 5 years (ordinary annuity). Compounding: 12 times per year. If the appropriate required rate of return (discount rate) is 7%, what is the present value of the annuity stream? (Answer to the nearest cent. i.e. one thousand dollars would be entered 1000.00) Please show the formula and not use excel.
A $10,000 investment would return a series of $3,000 year-end payments over the next 5 years if no inflation were present. However, an average inflation rate of 6 percent is expected to increase the payments accordingly. If the annual market rate of interest remains at 13 percent, determine the present equivalent worth of the investment
