2 COMPUTATION OF IRR

Method ----> find NPV at two different discount 'r'

interpolate and find r for which NPV =0

from above example, we know that for r=10%, NPV = 804.38

take r = 18%, find NPV

WACC = r = 18% = 0.18

Year Cash flows PVIF@18%

0 (10,000) 1.00000
 1 5,300 0.84746
2 4,300 0.71818
3 1,874 0.60863
4 1,500 0.51579
NPV

r NPV
0.1 804.38
r 0 By definition, the r that makes NPV =0 , is
0.18 -506.02

To interpolate we use two point formula of staright line.

(x-x1)/ (x2-x1) = (y-y1) / (y2 - y1)

(r-0.1) /(0.18 - 0.1) = (0 - 804.38) / (-506.02 - 804.38)

(r-0.1) / 0.08 = -804.38 / -1310.4

r - 0.1 = 0.08 * 0.6138

r-0.1 = 0.05
r = 0.1+ 0.05 = 0.15 or 15 percent

CHECK
WACC = r = 15% = 0.15
