Hi prof,
My question is on when calculating for cost of debt redeemable .
if i decides to use DCF 5% and 10% to calculate for the NPV , deriving the IRR lets say 8.672% and the textbook decides to use DCF of 10% and 20% deriving a result of 8.333%
Hence my question then is does it make any difference or will the answer be acceptable by the examiner ?
pls help cos am confused.

Using two different rates will give a slightly different IRR, but will still get full marks.
(The reason is that the relationship between the rate of interest and the NPV is not linear).
Just make sure your workings are clear – you will still get the marks.
