Internal Rate of Return (IRR) capital investment appraisal techniques define IRR
as discount rate that gives a value of zero to NPV or net present value. Among all
capital investment appraisal techniques, IRR is generally considered to measure the
efficiency of the capital investment. Thus, if cost of capital investment in company
works out to be greater than the IRR value, the project is highly likely to be rejected.
On the other hand, a low cost of capital has more chances of being accepted. IRR is
calculated by equating NPV to zero and then deriving the discount rate. Even though
IRR and NPV are related capital investment appraisal techniques they are different
from each other. IRR considers the time value of money over the project life time
and derives the world discount rate.
Discounted Payback Period capital investment appraisals using discounted
payback period is similar to payback period but here, the time value of money or
discounted value of cash flow is considered for calculation of payback period.
All the above mentioned capital investment appraisal techniques are used for ranking
projects. Usually, organizations have many projects that are appraised
simultaneously for financial viability. Once the preliminary appraisal of a project is
completed, it is compared and ranked against other peer projects. The projects in
consideration are ranked from having high Profitability index to lowest Profitability
index. The higher ranking projects are usually implemented after careful and detailed
due diligence.
