Rate of Return Analysis

• Rate of return is the most frequently used


measure in industry
• Major advantages
• Rate of return is a single figure of merit that is
readily understood.
• Calculation of rate of return is independent
from the minimum attractive rate of return
(MARR).

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


Internal Rate of Return

• The interest rate at which the present worth and


equivalent uniform annual worth are equal to 0.
• (For borrowing) The interest rate paid on the
unpaid balance of a loan such that the payment
schedule makes the unpaid loan balance equal to
0 when the final payment is made.
• (For investment) The interest rate earned on the
un-recovered investment such that the payment
schedule makes the un-recovered investment
equal to 0 at the end of the investment life.

Calculating Rate of Return

1. Convert various consequences of investment into a


cash flow
2. Use one of the following equations to find the
unknown value of the internal rate of return (IRR):
𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 − 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐 = 0 (7-1)

Example 7-1
Rate of Return Calculation
An engineer invests $5000 at the end of every year for 40
year career. If the engineer wants $1 million in savings at
retirement, what interest must the investment earn?

𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 = 0 = −5000(𝐹𝐹 ⁄𝐴𝐴, 𝑖𝑖, 40) + 1,000,000


(𝐹𝐹 ⁄𝐴𝐴, 𝑖𝑖, 40) = 1,000,000⁄5000 = 200
From the compound interest tables,
(𝐹𝐹/𝐴𝐴, 7%, 40) = 199.636
thus the required rate of return for the investment is 7%

Rate of Return Calculation

$1000. The issuing corporation promised to pay the
bondholder $40 interest every 6 months, and to repay the
$1000 face value at the end of 10 years. After 1 year, the
bond was sold by the original buyer for $950. (a) What rate
of return did the original buyer receive on this investment?

Rate of Return (ROR) Analysis

• Most frequently used measure of merit in


industry
• More accurately called Internal Rate of
Return (IRR)
• In making decision, compare IRR with
MARR (Minimum Attractive Rate of
Return) decision
• When IRR ≥ MARR, select the alternatif

Engineering
23
Economic
Calculating ROR

• Where two mutually exclusive alternatives


will provide the same benefit, ROR is
performed using an incremental rate of
return-ΔROR-on the difference between
the alternatives.
Two-alternative situation Decision
∆ROR ≥ MARR Choose higher-cost alternative
∆ROR < MARR Choose lower-cost alternative

Engineering
24
Economic
Incremental Analysis

• When there are two or more alternatives, rate of


return analysis is performed by computing the
incremental rate of return, ΔIRR, on the
difference between two alternatives.
• The cash flow of the incremental investment is
computed by taking the higher initial-cost
alternative minus the lower initial-cost alternative.
• If ΔIRR≥MARR, choose the higher-cost alternative.
• If ΔIRR<MARR, choose the lower-cost alternative.

Copyright Oxford University Press 2014


The Minimum Attractive Rate of
Return (MARR)
• The MARR is a minimum return the
company will accept on the money it
invests
• The MARR is usually calculated by
financial analysts in the company and
provided to those who evaluate projects
• It is the same as the interest rate used for
Present Worth and Annual Worth analysis.

26
Example 7-10
Incremental Rate of Return
An equipment can save $1200/year, has no salvage value at
the end of 5 years useful life. Two suppliers:
• Leaseco: 3 beginning-of-year payment of $1000 each
• Saleco: 1 payment of $2783

ROR on Alternatives With Equivalent
Benefits
Example 7-5: Consider the lease vs. buy situation. MARR = 10%
• Leasco: Lease for 5 years for 3 annual payments of $1000 each
• Saleco: Purchase up front for $2783
• Both alternatives have a $1200/year benefit for 5 years

4 $1,200.00 $1,200.00 $0.00
5 $1,200.00 $1,200.00 $0.00

IRR/period 48.72% 32.60% 8.01%


Example 7-5 (Cont’d)
• Cannot simply pick the highest IRR if alternatives
have different investment costs
• Must examine the incremental cash flows!!
• Subtract the cash flows for the “Lower First Cost”
alternative from the cash flows of the “Higher First
Cost” alternative to obtain the “Incremental Cash
Flow” or ∆.
• Compute the IRR on the incremental cash flow.
This is the ∆ROR.
• For this problem the ∆ROR is 8.01% which is <
MARR, therefore choose the lower cost alternative.
29
EGR 403 - Cal Poly Pomona - SA9
Example 7-5 (Cont’d)

• Q. Why did we do this?


• A. Both alternatives were acceptable compared only to the
MARR. Since either alternative will work, the question is
whether we want to spend the additional $1783 to go from
the lower cost to the higher cost alternative. The benefit for
doing so is the savings of two years of $1000 lease
payments. Essentially we are getting an 8.01% return on
that $1783 investment. The company can get 10% ROR on
its money elsewhere, so reject the increment. That is,
spend $1000 now on Leaseco and invest the other $1783
for a higher return.
