Why is the NPV method superior to the Payback method?
How is the method superior to the payback method
Advantage and disadvantage of NPV what is the advantage and disadvantage of Net Present Value Method?
Advantages: a. It will give the correct decision advice assuming a perfect capital market. It will also give correct ranking for mutually exclusive projects. b. NPV gives an absolute value. c. NPV allows for the time value fo the cash flows. Disadvantages: a. It is very difficult to identify the correct discount rate. b. NPV as method of investment appraisal requires the decision criteria to be specified before the appraisal can be undertaken.
What happens if the IRR is greater than the required rate of return?
The IRR rule states that if the internal rate of return (IRR) on a project or investment is greater than the minimum required rate of return - the cost of capital - then the decision would generally be to go ahead with it. Conversely, if the IRR on a project or investment is lower than the cost of capital, then the best course of action may be to reject it.
What is the difference between IRR and Average Rte of Return?
IRR is Investment Rate of Return, it simply gives a time period of single project of investment to be returned.Average IRR is considered by taking the average of all the previous IRRs and then concluding the answer as as an average of all the previous investments returned and in what time?
When you are calculating payback period do you subtract the salvage value?
No, when calculating the payback period, you do not subtract the salvage value. The payback period focuses on the time it takes for an investment to generate cash inflows sufficient to recover the initial investment cost. The salvage value is typically considered in other analyses, such as calculating the net present value (NPV) or internal rate of return (IRR), but not in the payback period calculation.
Why is the NPV approach often regarded to be superior to the IRR method?
Why is the NPV approach often regarded to be superior to the IRR method?
What are the disadvantages of IRR method?
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.
Merits and demerits of net present value?
Advantages:With the NPV method, the advantage is that it is a direct measure of the dollar contribution to the stockholders.With the IRR method, the advantage is that it shows the return on the original money invested.Disadvantages:With the NPV method, the disadvantage is that the project size is not measured.With the IRR method, the disadvantage is that, at times, it can give you conflicting answers when compared to NPV for mutually exclusive project.BY SHARANYA NV
IRR VS NPV?
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.

Under what case IRR is preferred to NPV?
IRR is measured in terms of %age and not in absolute measures. It is the breakeven discount rate and is preferred where management is interested in evaluating the project in terms of %age. It enables the management to compare it to the inflation rate, cost of capital or investment and with other accounting ratios. If NPV or absolute return is same in large and small investment, then IRR method is preferred in choosing the investment. Because in this case, IRR gives the %age of return and a project with higher IRR is recommended.
When Projects are mutually exclusive which project should be selected using npv and risk level?
Problems with project ranking: 1. Mutually exclusive projects of unequal size (the size disparity problem) - the NPVdecision may not agree with the IRR or PI. Solution: select the project with the larges NPV (not IRR). 2. The time disparity problem with mutually exclusive projects - NPV and PI assume cash flows are reinvested at the required rate of return for the project. IRR assumes cash flows are reinvested at the IRR. NPV decision may not agree with the IRR. Solution: select the project with the largest NPV. A good method to evaluate and rank project better is to use the Equivalent Annual Annuity (EAA) method. This is like calculating for PMT when doing TVM. It simply means, you will be getting that amount as an inflow each year or period. Therefore, you would want to choose the highest figure.
The NPV assumes cash flows are reinvested at the?
The NPV assumes cash flows are reinvested at the: A. real rate of return B. IRR C. cost of capital D. NPV
Why is npv better than irr?
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.
How do you make capital budgeting?
by considering npv analysis , irr and pay back period
Why NPV is better than IRR in capital rationing situation?
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).
