Using an interest rate of 10% per year the net present value (NPV) of a project has been correctly calculated as
$50. If the interest rate is increased by 1% the NPV of the project falls by S20.
What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of the project?
Ask the Tutor ACCA MA
Npv question pls help sir
3y ago#1Why are you attempting a question for which you do not have an answer? You should be using a Revision Kit from one of the ACCA Approved Publishers - they have answers and
explanations :-)
As you will know from my free lectures on this, the IRR is the rate of interest at which the NPV is zero.
Here, at 10% the NPV is $50. If the interest rate is 11% then the NPV is 50 - 20 = $30. If the interest rate is 12% the NPV is 30 - 20 = $10. If the interest rate is 13%,
the NPV is 10 - 20 = -$10.
So now you should be able to see what the interest rate will have to be for the NPV to be zero :-)
Thanks
