RATE OF RETURN METHOD OF COM


PARISON

1
Rate of Return Method
• Another method for evaluation of different competin
g alternatives, especially in the area of investments.
• In general, rate of return may be regarded as an inde
x of profitability. The following terms are commonly e
ncountered.
• MARR (Minimum attractive rate of return),
• IRR (internal rate of return),
• IRoR (Incremental rate of return), and
• ERR (external rate of return)

2
Minimum Attractive Rate of Return (MARR)

• The minimum rate of return below which a company


would not be interested in the proposed investment
alternative.
• MARR depends on a number of factors such as condi
tions of the market, level of competition and cost of
capital.
• MARR values vary across different companies and ev
en within the same company
• A company working for construction of buildings, bri
dges, and tunnels. The MARR may be the lowest for t
he building business and largest in tunnels, on accou
nt of highest competition in the building sector

3
Internal rate of return (IRR)

• Internal rate of return, sometimes represente


d by the symbol i* or the acronym ROR, is defi
ned as the interest rate which reduces the pre
sent worth of given cash flow to zero.

4
Computation of IRR
• In principle, IRR can be determined by equatin
g the net present worth of the cash flow to zer
o, i.e., setting the difference of the benefits an
d cost of the present worth to zero, as shown
below:

(PW)benefits –(PW)cost = 0…equ(1)

5
STEPS FOR COMPUTING IRR
• Step 1 Assume a trial rate of return (i*).

• Step 2 Counting the cost as negative and income as p


ositive, find the equivalent net worth of all costs and
incomes.

• Step 3 If the equivalent net worth is positive then the


income from the investment is worth more than the
cost of investment and the actual percentage return i
s higher than the trial rate, and vice versa

6
STEPS FOR COMPUTING IRR
• Step 4 Adjust the estimate of the trial rate o
f return and go to step 2 again until one value
of i is found that results in a positive equivalen
t net worth and another higher value of i is fo
und with negative equivalent net worth.
• Step 5 Solve for the applicable value of i* by
interpolation.

Computation of IRR
(PW)benefits –(PW)cost =0
Let IRR be i*
NPW = -1000 + 400 (P/F, i*,1) + 370 (P/F, i*,2) + 240 (P/
F, i*,3) + 220 (P/F, i*,4)=0
Assuming i* = 10%
NPW = -1000 + 400 x 0.9090 + 370 x0.8264 + 240 x 0.75
13 + 220 x 0.6830
=0
• We find that i*= 10% in the above example is
a special interest rate which has reduced the n
et present worth of given cash flow to zero. Th
us i*=10% is the Internal rate of return for this
example.
9
• It represents the percentage or rate of interest earned on
the unrecovered balance of an investment, at any point o
f time and further the earned recovered balance is reduc
ed to zero at the end of the project.

• An illustrative computation showing how a part of the ca


sh flow at the end of a year goes towards payment of int
erest due on the outstanding (unrecovered) balance of in
vestment, and, the remainder liquidates the outstanding
investment

• In this example, at the end of the proposal’s life (4 years)


the entire investment has just been recovered, and the a
pplicable rate of interest (10%) is a special and unique rat
e called the IRR!

10% is the IRR
Important point
• It is not possible to calculate the rate of return
for the cash flows involving cost alone or reve
nue alone as can be observed from equation 1.
• IRR method should not be used for ranking of
projects , it may give erroneous results, not in
line with the results obtained from other meth
ods of analysis

$80000
Solution
• Assuming a trial rate of return of 15%,
• N.P.W. = -$80,000 - $ 850 * (P/A,15%,5) + $ 15
00 * (P/A,15%,5) + $150000 * (P/F,15%,5)
= -$80,000 - $850 * 3.3522 + $1500 * 3.
3522 + $150000 * 0.4972
= - $3241.07
• Since it gives negative value of N.P.W. let us as
sume a lower value of rate of return, say 14%.

14
• N.P.W. = - $80,000 - $850 * (P/A,14%,5) + $1500 * (P/
A,14%,5) + 150,000 * (P/F,14%,5)
= - $80,000 - $850 * 3.4331 + $1500 *3.4331
+ 150,000 * 0.51937
= $136.8
• Thus, the IRR at which N.P.W. becomes zero i.e. the v
alue of i at which exactly same return is met, lies som
ewhere between 14% and 15 % which can be found
out by interpolation.

i = 14 + (15 - 14) * 136.8/[136.8 – (-3241.07)]


i = 14.041%
15
Incremental rate of return (IROR)
•If an alternative requires a higher initial investm
ent than the other and evaluation is of the rate
of return on the increment of initial investment,
the return yielded on this extra investment is cal
led the incremental rate of return (IROR).
•The incremental analysis is based on the princip
le that every rupee of investment is as good as t
he other.

16
Assumptions
• The analysis makes the assumptions that suffi
cient funds are available to finance the alterna
tives with the highest investment
• There are opportunities available to utilize the
surplus funds at a rate higher than the MARR,
should there be any excess funds after financi
ng the alternative with the lower investment c
osts.

17
Steps involved in the incremental analysis

Step 1
•List out all the alternatives in ascending order o
f their first cost or initial investment.
•It may be pointed out at this stage that in most
cases alternatives with the lowest investment ar
e likely to turn out to be the ‘do nothing’ alterna
tive.

18
Steps involved in the incremental anal
ysis …cont’d
Step 2
•Compare the rate of return of all alternatives wi
th the assumed MARR, and check if the rate of r
eturn is at least equal to the MARR. If not, the al
ternative is dropped and not considered in the f
urther analysis.

19
Steps involved in the incremental anal
ysis …cont’d
Step 3
•Prepare the cash flow diagram on incremental
basis between the alternatives which is being ex
amined & the current alternative (to begin with
we have taken the alternative with the lowest ini
tial investment).

20
Steps involved in the incremental anal
ysis …cont’d
Step 4
•When an alternative which has just been exami
ned is acceptable (rate of return is more than th
e MARR) it becomes the current best replacing t
he earlier one. The new best is examined with th
e next higher investment alternative.

21
Steps involved in the incremental anal
ysis …cont’d
Step 5
•In case rate of return is less than MARR, the alt
ernative under examination is ruled out and the
current alternatives remain the lucrative one. Th
e current best is compared to the next higher inv
estment.

22
Steps involved in the incremental anal
ysis …cont’d
Step 5
•The process mentioned through steps 1 to 5 is r
epeated till all the alternatives have been looked
into and the best alternative is selected.

23
Illustration
• A Construction Company is purchasing Aluminum Doors at Rs.
3550 per piece from a vendor. The annual demand for the doo
rs is 350 pieces.
In order to develop the in-house capabilities for production of
Aluminum Doors the company requires investment in equipm
ent to produce Aluminum Doors at an initial cost of Rs. 1,050,
000 initially, Rs. 925,000 at the end of first year and Rs. 612,5
00 each year at the end of year 2 and 3. The equipment will h
ave no salvage value at the end of year 3.
Should the company develop in-house capabilities or continu
e to buy Aluminum Doors from its vendors. Use MARR=15%

• Assuming i = 20%
Solution
N.P.W. = - 1050,000 + 317500 * (P/F,20%,1) + 630000 * (P/F,2
0%,2) + 630000 * (P/F,20%,3)
N.P.W. = 16660.48
• Now, assuming i = 21%
N.P.W. = - 1050,000 + 317500 * (P/F,21%,1) + 630000 * (P/F,2
1%,2) + 630000 * (P/F,21%,3)
N.P.W. = - 1677.13

(P/F,20%,1) = 0.8333, (P/F,21%,1) = 0.8265,


(P/F,20%,2) =0.6944, (P/F,21%,2) = 0.6830,
(P/F,20%,3) = 0.57870 (P/F,21%,3) = 0.5645 27
• Thus, the exact value of i lies somewhere betw
een 20% and 21% which can be found out by i
nterpolation, as
i = 20 + (21 – 20)* 16660.48/(16660.48–(-1677.1
3))
i = 20.908%
• 20.908% > 15%(MARR), therefore it is better f
or the company to develop in-house capabiliti
es

EFFECT OF TAXATION ON COMPARISON OF ALTERNA
TIVES
• In the discussion so far, any affect that a taxation reg
ime may have as far as comparison and evaluation of
economic alternatives is considered has not been ta
ken into account.
• It should however be borne in mind that prevailing t
ax laws impose taxes on companies on the basis of t
he annual income generated through conduct of bus
iness.
• Not only the rates of taxes vary from time to time, b
ut also certain incentives and relief in taxes are provi
ded on certain expenditures for various reasons.

45
EFFECT OF TAXATION ON COMPARISON OF ALTERNA
TIVES…cont’d
• Companies often take advantage of such sche
mes and use available funds in a manner so as
to optimize their interests.
• Though it is not the intention here to discuss t
axation rules at any length, the example below
is included only to place in perspective on the
discussion on taxation and alternative compari
son.

BRIEF DISCUSSION ON DEPRECIATION
• In a general sense, ‘depreciation’ discusses the di
fferent issues related to this gradual change (reductio
n) in the value of an asset.
• Formally, there are a number of definitions for depre
ciation, although each one conveys similar meanings.
• For example, according to one definition ‘depreciat
ion is the allocation of the cost of an asset over a peri
od of time for accounting and tax purposes’.

48
BRIEF DISCUSSION ON DEPRECIATION…cont’d

• Another definition discusses depreciation in terms of


a decline in the value of an asset due to general wear
and tear, deterioration, or obsolescence.
• It may be noted however, that not all assets deprecia
te with time. Land is one such example – it does not
wear out like vehicles or equipment, and should be h
andled separately.

49
BRIEF DISCUSSION ON DEPREC
IATION…cont’d
• In general a company ‘owns’ various assets in the
form of buildings, office furniture, machinery and equ
ipment, etc., all of which are acquired at a certain val
ue, and they depreciate over time. In the end, they ce
ase to be of any monetary value, and can only be scra
pped and a certain value extracted (salvaged!) from t
he scrap.

• From the point of view of book-keeping, depreciation


is considered an expense and is listed as such (as an e
xpense) in the firm’s financial statement.

50
BRIEF DISCUSSION ON DEPR
ECIATION…cont’d

• It may be noted that this ‘expense’ is only technic


al in nature and the funds are not really transferred o
ut of the system.
• As far as the idea of the final value is concerned, it is
referred to as the salvage value.
• Now, depending upon various factors, an asset may t
ake different periods of time to depreciate to its salv
age value, and therefore the concept of ‘service life’
also needs to be borne in mind

Evaluation using Present worth method

• Net Present Worth of Equipment A = - 12.5 – 0.


25(P/A,10%,5) = - 12.5 – 0.25 x 3.7908 =
- 1,345,000
• Net Present Worth of Equipment B = - 7.5 – 2
(P/A,10%,5) = - 7.5 – 2 x 3.7908 = - 1,508,000
• Hence, choose equipment A as its net present
worth is more (in other words it costs less).

68
Evaluation using Annual worth method

• Annual worth of equipment A = - 12.5 x (A/P,1


0%,5) – 0.25 = - 12.5 x (0.2638) – 0.25 = - 3,55
0,000
• Annual worth of equipment B = - 7.5 x (A/P,1
0%,5) – 2= - 7.5 x (0.2638) – 2 =
- 3,980,000
• Hence, choose equipment A as its cost is less.

SOLUTION CONTINUED
• Assume i = 10%
N.P.W. = - 5 + 1.75 x (P/A,10%,5)
= - 5 + 1.75 x (3.7908)
= 1.633 *105
• Assume i = 20%
N.P.W. = - 5 + 1.75 x (P/A,20%,5)
= - 5 + 1.75 x (2.9906)
= 0.233 *105

71
SOLUTION CONTINUED
• Assume i = 25%
N.P.W. = - 5 + 1.75 x (P/A,25%,5)
= - 5 + 1.75 x (2.68928)
= - 0.294 *105
• By interpolation i = 21.53%
• Since this is more than MARR = 10%, hence it
will be preferable to choose equipment A.
• Thus, all the three methods gave same result t
hat of choosing equipment A.

72
Case 1: Income alone is given
• We assume that some equipment has been pu
rchased for Rs. 3.5 Lakhs and its accounting lif
e and service life happens to be 5 years. The p
redicted salvage value is nil.
• The gross income for all the five years is assum
ed to be Rs. 2.5 Lakhs and expenses are assum
ed to be nil for all these five years.

EFFECT OF INFLATION ON CASH FLOW
• Construction projects by large take number of month
s and during this period, the cost of labour, materials,
plant and machinery may undergo an inflationary tre
nd.
• Inflation in general is defined as the increase in the p
rice level resulting in decrease in purchasing power o
f money.
• Since general inflation results in the price rise in all g
oods, the relative prices remain constant. Hence, it is
possible to disregard escalation.

79
EFFECT OF INFLATION ON CASH FLOW
• In India, it is normal practice to use 12% as discount r
ate. According to IRC:SP:61-2004, where there is a lar
ge difference between the rate of inflation and intere
st, the discount rate is evaluated using the following
expression:
• Modified discount rate= [ {(1+ interest rate %)÷(1 + i
nflation rate%)} – 1] x 100%
• Considering an interest rate of 12% and an inflation r
ate of 8%, the modified discount rate = [{(1+ 12%) ÷
(1+ 8%)- 1}] x 100% = 3.70%
