Hi Everyone
Hope we are all geared up and studying hard for the summer 🙂
I am working through the opentuition lecture notes and I am stuck on an IRR calculation question, chapter 7 example 10
you have to calculate cost of debt. the example uses discount rates of 5% and 10%. and gives an answer of 7.51%
But when I do the calculation using rates of 5% and 15% i get an answer of 7.88%
If I try again using 4% and 13% I get an answer of 7.9%
How come I am getting different answers
It is because the relationship is not linear.
Different guesses will give different answers, and that does not matter – you will still get full marks. (If you are more than 1% different, then you have probably made a mistake, but otherwise no problem 🙂 )
Thank you John, that really helps. It has been driving me nuts!
You should have watched my lecture on this for Paper F9. 🙂
Glad you are sorted anyway.
