Internal Rate of Return (IRR3)

1 Discount Rate refers to the interest rate used to discount future cash flows to the present value, which is a key variable in the process of determining

the NPV. A company’s weighted average cost of capital (after tax) is often used, but many people believe that it is appropriate to use higher discount rates to adjust for risk, opportunity cost, or other factors. Another approach to choosing the discount rate factor is to decide the rate which the capital needed for the project/business could return if invested in an alternative venture. If, for example, the capital required for Business A can earn 15.00% elsewhere, use this discount rate in the NPV calculation to allow a direct comparison to be made between Business A and the alternative. For some professional investors, their investment funds are committed to target a specified rate of return. In such cases, that rate of return should be selected as the discount rate for the NPV calculation. In this way, a direct comparison can be made between the profitability of the project/business and the desired rate of return. The higher the potential risk of the Project/Business, the higher the discount rate to be used.

Net Present Value (NPV) refers to the different between the present value cash inflows and the present value of cash outflows. NPV is used in capital budgeting to analyse the profitability of an investment or project. In finance, the net present value (NPV) or net present worth (NPW) is defined as the sum of the present values (PVs) of incoming and outgoing cash flows over a period.

2

The discount rate often used in capital budgeting that makes the net present value of all cash flows from a project equal to zero. The higher a project's internal rate of return, the more desirable it is to undertake the project. As such, Internal Rate of Return (IRR) can be used to rank several prospective businesses/projects to invest in. Assuming all other factors are equal among the various projects/businesses, the project/business with the highest IRR would probably be considered the best and undertaken first. IRR is sometimes referred to as ‘economic rate of return (ERR)’.

3

One can think of IRR as the rate of growth a project/business is expected to generate. While the actual rate of return that a given project/business ends up generating will often differ from its estimated IRR rate, a project/business with a substantially higher IRR value than other available investment options would still provide a much better chance of strong growth. IRR’s can also be compared against prevailing rates of return in the securities market, e.g. the JSE (Johannesburg Stock Exchange). If an investor can't find any projects/businesses with IRRs greater than the returns that can be generated in the financial markets, it may simply choose to invest its investment funds into the market (in this case, the local Johannesburg Stock Exchange).

Over the past 90 years, i.e. since the beginning of 1925, the South African equity market has delivered an average annual real return of 8.4%, which means that a lump sum equivalent of R1,000 today, invested in 1925, would have grown to more than R1,35 million at the end of 2014 after inflation is stripped out. Over the past 10 years (January 2006 to December 2015) annual returns on the FTSE/JSE All-Share averaged 12.900% per annum (before inflation). The FTSE/JSE Top 40 return 12.750% during the same period. The SA All Bond Index (ALBI) returned an average 8.910% per annum and the money market, represented by the three-month interbank lending rate (JIBAR) returned an average 7.300% per annum before any fees and inflation. With the above being said, a potential investor – when comparing an investment into a project/business to the rates of return of the South African equity market – would seek an IRR of at least 12.900%.

A technique used to determine how different values of an independent variable will impact a dependent variable under a given set of assumptions.

This technique is used within specific boundaries that will depend on one or more input variables, such as the effect that changes in interest rates will have on a bond's price. What-if Analysis (also known as Sensitivity Analysis) is a way to predict the outcome of a decision if a situation turns out to be different compared to the key prediction(s). Sensitivity analysis is very useful when attempting to determine the impact the actual outcome of a variable will have if it differs from what was previously assumed. By creating a given set of scenarios, the analyst can determine how changes in one variable(s) will impact the target variable. For the purposes of this Business Plan and Financial Projections Model, the ‘Projections Model’ or Expected Case Financial Projections have been used as a point of departure. The Financial Model’s ‘sensitivity’ to changes has been tested to determine the outcome on the company’s profitability.
