The loan note is redeemable so we need to do a table and calculate like IRR right? But I used 10% and 15% for IRR and I don’t get the answer. What I don’t understand is why my answer is wrong when we could use any percentage for IRR. Can you tell me
August 23, 2022 at 10:37 am #664015It depends by how much your answer is different. Using two guesses only ever gives an approximate answer and so, as I explain in my free lectures, different guesses will always give a slightly different answer (but will still get full marks in the exam).
However if your first guess was at 10% and you got a positive NPV (as you should have done) then it would have been willy and wrong to make your second guess at 15% because the IRR must be then lower than 10%.
The above is now irrelevant anyway for Paper FM Section C questions because you are provided with a spreadsheet and can use the IRR function. This will give the exact IRR and does not need two guesses.
