“Internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate that gives the project a zero NPV” (McLaney‚ 2006). It is a good choice to use for investment projects. There is a formula for the internal rate of return: (A is the lower discount rate and B is the higher rate‚ a is the NPV at the lower rate and b is the NPV at the higher rate.) For example the Net Present Value (NPV) is 88 when the discount rate is 20%‚ and the NPV is 12 when the discount rate is 30%. Therefore the IRR in this situation is 28

mark) The methods that a firm can use to evaluate a potential investment: 1) ‘Discounting’ Methods: Net Present Value (NPV): the present value of the future after-tax cash flow minus the investment outlay made initially. The decision rule for the NPV as follows: invest if NPV> 0‚ do not invest if NPV< 0 Internal Rate of Return (IRR): calculates the interest rate that equates the present value of the future after-tax cash flows equal that investment outlay; then compared
