IRR: Internal rate return NPV: Net present value Both are measure of the viability of a project(s) You can have multiple IRR (because of discontinued cash flows) but you always have one NPV.
In the IRR method, the intermediate cash inflows are assumed to be consumed and so are not reinvested. The unmodified IRR method, as compared with the NPV method, will not show the superiority of any two mutually exclusive investments with two different initial outlays. In such a case, an investment with lower IRR could have a higher NPV and therefore should be chosen by an investor. In some cases where there are streams of positive and negative cash flows in an investment, the IRR method may yield more than one IRR. This is not a disadvantage if the calculations are performed correctly.
A leveraged IRR is a mathematical formula used to determine the rate of your return that you are currently getting from an investment. This formula is a very complicated procedure.
If the opportunity cost of capital for a project exceeds the Project's IRR, then the project has a(n)
NPV measures the return a project generates against the costs borne to generate them, while also considering Time Value of Money. Whereas IRR measures returns alone and is hence seen as a myopic metric. NPV will be positive only when the IRR>WACC (i.e. the returns are more than the costs). The concept of IRR being greater than WACC is also called 'Positive EVA'. Needless to say, a project must be selected when NPV > 0! When choosing between projects, the spread between IRR & WACC will determine the financial feasibility ...the higher the better.
irr after interest
Tim Irr is 6' 1 1/2".
You should not be ADDICTED to property of IRR anyways!!stop it!! well you cant...
Christopher Irr was born on September 13, 1984, in Portsmouth, Virginia, USA.
The IRR reinvestment rate assumption is the mistaken assumption that the IRR of a project implicitly assumes that all positive cash flows from the project that occur in periods before the end of the project will be reinvested at the rate of IRR per period until the end of the project.
A change in the cost of capital will not, typically, impact on the IRR. IRR is measure of the annualised effective interest rate, or discount rate, required for the net present values of a stream of cash flows to equal zero. The IRR will not be affected by the cost of capital; instead you should compare the IRR to the cost of capital when making investment decisions. If the IRR is higher than the cost of capital the project/investment should be viable (i.e. should have a positive net present value - NPV). If the IRR is lower than the cost of capital it should not be undertaken. So, whilst a higher cost of capital will not change the IRR it will lead to fewer investment decisions being acceptable when using IRR as the method of assessing those investment decisions.
Why is the NPV approach often regarded to be superior to the IRR method?
The prefix "irr" typically means not or without, suggesting a lack of correctness or regularity in the word it precedes.

arr is for 1year only..irr can be for a period of 1 or more years

No, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is not the same as the discount rate. The IRR is a metric used to evaluate the profitability of an investment, while the discount rate is the rate used to discount future cash flows to their present value.
