Internal-Rate-of-Return MethodInternal-Rate-of-Return Method

• The internal rate of return is the true economic return earned by the asset over its life.

• The internal rate of return is computed by finding the discount rate that will cause the net present value of a project to be zero.

Internal-Rate-of-Return MethodInternal-Rate-of-Return Method

Future cash flows are the same every year in this example, so we can calculate the

internal rate of return as follows:

Investment required Investment required Net annual cash flowsNet annual cash flows = Present value factor= Present value factor

$104, 320 $104, 320 $20,000$20,000 == 5.2165.216

Internal-Rate-of-Return MethodInternal-Rate-of-Return Method

$104, 320 $104, 320 $20,000$20,000 = 5.216 = 5.216

The present value factor (5.216) is located on the Table IV in the Appendix. Scan the 10-

period row and locate the value 5.216. Look at the top of the column and you find a rate of

14% which is the internal rate of return.

Managerial Accountant’s RoleManagerial Accountant’s Role

Managerial accountants are often asked to predict cash flows related to operating cost

savings, additional working capital requirements, and incremental costs and

revenues.

When cash flow projections are very uncertain, the accountant may . . . increase the hurdle rate, use sensitivity analysis.

Postaudit of Investment ProjectsPostaudit of Investment Projects

A postaudit is a follow-up after the project has been approved to see whether or not expected results are actually realized.

Not all expenses require cash outflows. The most common example is depreciation.

Recall that High Country’s proposal involved the purchase of a truck. The truck cost $40,000 and will be depreciated over four years using straight-line depreciation. The truck is to be purchased on

June 30, 2007. One-half year depreciation is taken in 2007.

When the cash flows from a project are constant, the present value of an annuity

factor can be used to approximate the rate of return.

A project cost $90,119, and will yield net cash inflows of $25,000 at the end of each of the

next five years.
