Hi
I have always done the IRR based on the value of one loan note, however yesterday looked at answer to a q in R&R and it was based on entire value of debt and interest, so in Dec Mock exam did it this way – answer was based on one loan note.
My Q is – does it matter? Will I be safe enough to always base on one loan note and interest etc.?December 7, 2010 at 1:00 am #72924AnonymousInactive- Topics: 1

Hi Karen,
Your posting has the caption IRREDEEMABLE debt
IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is NOT used to calculate the cost of IRREDEEMABLE debt. IRR is used to calculate the cost of REDEEMABLE debt after tax.
Cost of IRREDEEMABLE Debt Model:
Kdat (to Company) = *** Nominal Annual Interest (1 – t ) / M Price p.u.
*** (NI after tax)

December 7, 2010 at 1:05 am #72925Apologies for confusion – I meant redeemable debt, will it matter if I base the
IRR on one loan note as has been the way with all of the questions I have covered (except one) or are there circumstances when the totals must be used?December 7, 2010 at 11:58 am #72926AnonymousInactive- Topics: 1

Just use the cash flows pertaining to the one bond (loan note) given in the question and you’ll be perfectly ok.

March 16, 2012 at 9:39 pm #72928hi anyone can help me in irredeemable debt in cost of debt?
March 18, 2012 at 2:08 pm #72929What is it you want to know?
If it is irredeemable then it is repayable, and to calculate the cost of debt you need to set up the after-tax flows (the interest is tax allowable) and calculate the Internal Rate of Return.
Have you watched the OpenTuition lectures on it?
