| | |
| == Overview of internal rate of return (IRR) ==
| |
| | |
| IRR is a percentage summary of the cash flows of a project, for example, an IRR of 10%.
| |
| | |
| The IRR summarises the timing, as well as the amounts, of the cashflows.
| |
| | |
| | |
| For an investor, the IRR of an investment proposal represents their expected rate of [[return]] on their investment in the project.
| |
| | |
| A greater IRR is normally more attractive for an investor.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The IRR is driven by the expected future cash flows from the project.
| |
| | |
| | |
| The IRR of a set of cash flows is:
| |
| | |
| :the [[cost of capital]] which,
| |
| | |
| :when applied to discount all of the cash flows,
| |
| | |
| :including any initial investment outflow at Time 0,
| |
| | |
| :results in a [[net present value]] (NPV) of 0.
| |
| | |
| | |
| <span style="color:#4B0082">'''Example 1: IRR - single period 10%'''</span>
| |
| | |
| A project requires an investment today of $100m, with $110m being receivable one year from now.
| |
| | |
| The IRR of this project is 10%, because that is the cost of capital which results in an NPV of $0, as follows:
| |
| | |
| | |
| [[PV]] of Time 0 outflow $100m
| |
| | |
| = $(100m)
| |
| | |
| | |
| PV of Time 1 inflow $110m
| |
| | |
| = $110m x 1.10<sup>-1</sup>
| |
| | |
| = $100m
| |
| | |
| | |
| NPV = - $100m + $100m
| |
| | |
| = '''$0'''.
| |
| | |
| | |
| <span style="color:#4B0082">'''Example 2: IRR - single period 5%'''</span>
| |
| | |
| A project requires an investment today of $100m, with $105m being receivable one year from now. | |
| | |
| The IRR of this project is 5%, because that is the cost of capital which results in an NPV of $0, as follows:
| |
| | |
| | |
| [[PV]] of Time 0 outflow $100m
| |
| | |
| = $(100m)
| |
| | |
| | |
| PV of Time 1 inflow $105m
| |
| | |
| = $105m x 1.05<sup>-1</sup>
| |
| | |
| = $100m
| |
| | |
| | |
| NPV = - $100m + $100m
| |
| | |
| = '''$0'''.

| | |
| | |
| <span style="color:#4B0082">'''Example 3: IRR - two periods 5%'''</span>
| |
| | |
| A project requires an investment today of $100m, with $5m being receivable one year from now, and $105m two years from now.
| |
| | |
| The IRR of this project is 5%, because that is the cost of capital which results in an NPV of $0, as follows:
| |
| | |
| | |
| [[PV]] of Time 0 outflow $100m
| |
| | |
| = $(100m)
| |
| | |
| | |
| PV of Time 1 inflow $5m
| |
| | |
| = $5m x 1.05<sup>-1</sup>
| |
| | |
| = $4.76m
| |
| | |
| | |
| PV of Time 2 inflow $105m
| |
| | |
| = $105m x 1.05<sup>-2</sup>
| |
| | |
| = $95.24m
| |
| | |
| | |
| NPV = - $100m + $4.76m + $95.24m
| |
| | |
| = '''$0'''.

| | |
| | |
| <span style="color:#4B0082">'''Example 4: IRR - three periods 5%'''</span>
| |
| | |
| A project requires an investment today of $100m, with $5m being receivable one year from now, a further $5m two years from now, and $105m three years from now.
| |
| | |
| The IRR of this project is 5%, because that is the cost of capital which results in an NPV of $0, as follows:
| |
| | |
| | |
| [[PV]] of Time 0 outflow $100m
| |
| | |
| = $(100m)
| |
| | |
| | |
| PV of Time 1 inflow $5m
| |
| | |
| = $5m x 1.05<sup>-1</sup>
| |
| | |
| = $4.76m
| |
| | |
| | |
| PV of Time 2 inflow $5m
| |
| | |
| = $5m x 1.05<sup>-2</sup>
| |
| | |
| = $4.54m
| |
| | |
| | |
| PV of Time 3 inflow $105m
| |
| | |
| = $105m x 1.05<sup>-3</sup>
| |
| | |
| = $90.70m
| |
| | |
| | |
| NPV = - $100m + $4.76m + $4.54m + $90.70m
| |
| | |
| = '''$0'''.

| | |
| == Project decision making with IRR ==
| |
| | |
| | |
| Target or required IRRs are set based on the investor's [[weighted average cost of capital]], appropriately adjusted for the risk of the proposal under review.
| |
| | |
| In very simple IRR project analysis the decision rule would be that:
| |
| | |
| (1) All opportunities with above the required IRR should be accepted.
| |
| | |
| (2) All other opportunities should be rejected.
| |
| | |
| | |
| However this assumes the unlimited availability of further capital with no increase in the cost of capital.
| |
| | |
| | |
| A more refined decision rule is that:
| |
| | |
| (1) All opportunities with IRRs BELOW the required IRR should still be REJECTED; while
| |
| | |
| (2) All other opportunities remain eligible for further consideration (rather than automatically being accepted).
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Excel's =IRR() function ==
| |
| | |
| Excel's =IRR() function returns the IRR for a block of cells within a single row or column, specified as a range.
| |
| | |
| | |
| <span style="color:#4B0082">'''Example 5: =IRR() function'''</span>
| |
| | |
| Cell A1 contains -100.
| |
| | |
| Cell A2 contains 110.
| |
| | |
| =IRR(A1:A2)
| |
| | |
| will return '''10%'''.
| |
| | |
| (This is the result we saw in Example 1 above.)
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Determining IRR manually ==
| |
| | |
| Unless the pattern of cash flows is very simple, it is normally only possible to determine IRR manually by trial and error (iterative) methods.
| |
| | |
| | |
| <span style="color:#4B0082">'''Example 6: Straight line interpolation'''</span>
| |
| | |
| Using straight line interpolation and the following data:
| |
| | |
| First estimated rate of return 5%, positive NPV = $+4m.
| |
| | |
| Second estimated rate of return 6%, negative NPV = $-4m.
| |
| | |
| The straight-line-interpolated estimated IRR is the mid-point between 5% and 6%.
| |
| | |
| This is '''5.5%'''.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Using iteration, the straight-line estimation process could then be repeated, using the value of 5.5% to recalculate the NPV, and so on.
| |
| | |
| The IRR function in Excel uses a similar trial and error method.
