A project's internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate YTM on a bond. The equation for calculating the IRR is: timing Project A Project B 0 1 2 CFt is the expected cash flow in Period t and cash outflows are treated as negative cash flows. There must be a change in cash flow signs to calculate the IRR. The IRR equation is simply the NPV equation solved for the particular discount rate that causes NPV to equal zero 320 255 The IRR calculation assumes that cash flows are reinvested at the IRR If the IRR is greater ✔than the project's risk-adjusted cost of capital, then the project should be accepted; however, if the IRR is less than the project's risk-adjusted cost of capital, then the project should be rejected ✓✓✓. Because of the IRR reinvestment rate assumption, when mutually exclusive projects are evaluated the IRR approach can lead to conflicting results from the NPV method. Two basic conditions can lead to conflicts between NPV and IRR: ✔ differences (earlier cash flows in…
An investment has the following cash flow profile. For each value of MARR below, what is the minimum value of X such that the investment is attractive based on an internal rate of return measure of merit? a. MARR is 12%/yr.b. MARR is 15%/yr. c. MARR is 24%/yr. d. MARR is 8%/yr. e. MARR is 0%/yr.
Suppose two all equity-financed firms, Firm X and Firm Y, are considering the same new project thathas a beta of 1. The project has an IRR of 9.2%. Firm X has a beta of 1.2 and Firm Y has a beta of 0.9. The risk-freerate is 3% and the expected market risk premium is 6%. a.) Should Firm X accept the project? Clearly explain, being sure to justify your reasoning.b.) Should Firm Y accept the project? Clearly explain, being sure to justify your reasoning.
What is the internal rate of return of an investment that requires a 10 percent minimum rate of return and has the following projected cash flows: Yr0 = -100, Yr1 = 25, Yr2 = 35, Yr3 = 45, Yr4 = 35, and Yr5 = 30? a. 19.33 percent b. 21.35 percent c. 20.05 percent d. 22.24 percent
The investor has R60,000 to invest. R15,000 will be invested into the market portfolio, R10,000 into asset A and R25,000 into asset B. The balance will be invested into the risk-free asset. The beta for asset A and asset B is 0.90 and 1.2 respectively. What is the portfolio beta? What is the correct answer? A. 0.09 B. 0.90 C. 0.91 D. 0.92
