5. THE EXTERNAL RATE OF RETURN (ERR) METHOD
It directly takes into account the interest rate (ε) external to a project at which net cash flows generated (or required) by the project over its life can be reinvested (or borrowed). If the ERR, which is usually the firm‟s MARR, happens to equal the project‟s IRR, then the ERR method produces results identical to those of the IRR method. Three steps used in calculating procedure: 1. All net cash outflows are discounted to time 0 (the present) at ε% per compounding period. 2. All net cash inflows are com pounded to period N at ε%. 3. The external rate of return, which is the interest rate that establishes between the two quantities, is determined. N N Σ E k (P/F, ε%,k) (F/P, i‟%, N) = Σ R k (F/P, ε%,N-k) k=0 k=0 where R k = excess of receipts over expenses in period k E k = excess of expenditures over receipts in period k N = project life or number of periods for the study ε = external investment rate per period A project is acceptable when i‟% of the ERR method is greater than or equal to the firm‟s MARR. Advantage over IRR : it can be solved directly. Sample Problem 1. A piece of new equipment has been proposed by engineers to increase the productivity of a certain manual welding operation. The investment cost is $25,000, and the equipment will have a market value of $5,000 at the end of a study period of five years. Increased productivity attributable to the equipment will amount to $8,000 per year after extra operating costs have been subtracted from the revenue generated by the additional production. Suppose that ε = MARR = 20% per year. What is the alternative‟s external rate of return, and is the alternative acceptable? 48 Solution: $25,000 (F/P, i‟%, 5) = $8,000 (F/A, 20%, 5) + $5,000 $25,000 (F/P, i‟%, 5) = $8,000 (7.4416) + $5,000 $25,000 (F/P, i‟%, 5) = $64,532.80 (F/P, i‟%, 5) = $64,532.80 / $25,000 (F/P, i‟%, 5) = 2.5813 (1 + i‟%) 5 = 2.5813 i‟% = 2.5813 1/5 – 1 i‟% = 20.88% because i‟ > MARR, the alternative is barely justified. Sample Problem 2. When ε = 15% and MARR = 20% per year, determine whether the project whose total cash flow diagram appears below is acceptable. Notice in this example that the use of an ε% different from the MARR is illustrated. This might occur if, for some reason, part or all of the funds related to a project are “handled” outside the firm‟s normal capital structure. Download 436.52 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
