The IRR Formula : The IRR cannot be
derived easily. "The only way to calculate IRR, by hand is through
trial and error because we have trying to arrive at whatever rate
which makes the NPV equal to zero.
IRR IS THE RATE WHEN NPV OF ANT PROJECT IS BEOCME
ZERO.
IRR for Plan A : (By trail and error
method)
Estimation of IRR Cash Inflow of the project with both rate, which
are closest to is as follows :
At 20 % = $6,400,000 * PVAF (20%, 6 Years) At 21 % = $6,400,000 *
PVAF (21%, 6 Years)
= $6,400,000 * 3.3255 = $6,400,000 * 3.2446
= $21,283,200 = $20,765,440
The exact IRR by interpolating between 20% & 21% is worked out
as follows :
IRR = 20% + (21,283,200 - 21,000,000) / (21,283,200 - 20,765,440)
*1
= 20% + 283200 / 517760 *1
= 20% + 0.5469%
= 20.5469%
IRR for Plan B : (By trail and error
method)
Estimation of IRR Cash Inflow of the project with both rate, which
are closest to is as follows :
At 30 % = $2,720,000 * PVAF (30%, 6 Years) At 31 % = $2,720,000 *
PVAF (31%, 6 Years)
= $2,720,000 * 2.6427 = $2,720,000 * 2.5875
= $7,188,144 = $7,038,000
The exact IRR by interpolating between 30% & 31% is worked out
as follows :
IRR = 30% + (7,188,144 - 7,000,000) / (7,188,144 - 7,038,000)
*1
= 30% + 188144 / 150144 *1
= 30% + 1.2531%
= 31.2531%
B) Crossover rate where both Projects NPV are equal
:
NPV Of Project A = NPV Of Project B is known as
Crossover rate
C0(A-B) = $21 Million - $7 Million = $14 Million
C1(A-B) = $6.4 Million - $ 2.72 Million = $3.68 Million
C2(A-B) = $6.4 Million - $ 2.72 Million = $3.68 Million
C3(A-B) = $6.4 Million - $ 2.72 Million = $3.68 Million
C4(A-B) = $6.4 Million -
$ 2.72 Million = $3.68 Million
C5(A-B) = $6.4 Million -
$ 2.72 Million = $3.68 Million
C6(A-B) = $6.4 Million -
$ 2.72 Million = $3.68 Million
= [(3680000/(1+CR) + (3680000/(1+CR)2) + (3680000/(1+CR)3) +
(3680000/(1+CR)4) + (3680000/(1+CR)5) +(3680000/(1+CR)6) ] -
14000000 = 0 => CR = 14.806 %. or say
14.81%
Both projects would deliver the same NPV at a discount rate of 14.806%. So that Crossover rate is 14.806%
C) Conflict between NPV And
IRR in making capital budgeting decision regarding mutually
exclusive projects :
Both NPV and IRR are popular techniques of capital
budgeting. The NPV of a project is exactly the same as the
increase in shareholders’ wealth. This fact makes it the correct
decision rule for capital budgeting purposes. IRR is the rate of
return on invested capital that the project is returning to the
firm. Sometimes the NPV and IRR can favor conflicting project
choices.
Such conflicts may be dealt with by considering the
mutuality of the project, value additivity principle ,multiple
rates of return and reinvestment rate assumption. In reality, using
the IRR method could lead to investment decisions that increase,
but do not maximize wealth. Another reason for which IRR approach
might not be usable-this is when projects have unconventional cash
flow patterns.
