NPV and IRR - Using the BAII Plus Professional Calculator NPV and IRR - Using the BAII Plus Professional Calculator Managerial Accounting Prepared by Diane Tanner University of North Florida Chapter 15

Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR)  Both are capital budgeting methods  Both use time value of money concepts  Both allow the comparison of future cash flows at the date the investment is expected to occur  NPV  Calculates the dollar value that the cash flows are worth today  IRR  Calculates the rate of return that the cash flows are expected to generate 2

Net Present Value Method (NPV) Step 1 Identify all cash flows of a potential investment  Draw a time line and label inflows and outflows Step 2 Discount all cash flows to their present values  Use required rate of return (hurdle rate) Step 3 Determine the NPV  Combine (add/subtract) the PV of cash inflows with the PV of the outflows Step 4 Accept or reject the proposal 3

How to Interpret & Assess NPV If the NPV is zero The investment will earn a return equal to the required rate of return. Accept the investment because it earns exactly the minimum return stipulated by management. If the NPV is positive The investment will earn a return greater than the required rate of return. Accept the investment because it earns more than the minimum return stipulated by management. If the NPV is negative The investment will earn a return less than the required rate of return. Reject the investment because it earns less than the minimum return stipulated by management. 4

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)  An alternative to the NPV method  The rate of return that equates the present value of future cash flows to the investment outlay  The rate that generates a zero NPV  Useful when  Comparing two or more investments  Comparing to the company’s required rate of return 5

Interpret IRR If the IRR is equal to the RRR The investment should be accepted because it earns the minimum rate stipulated by management. If the IRR is greater than the RRR The investment should be accepted because it earns more than the minimum rate stipulated by management. If the IRR is less than the RRR The investment should be rejected because it earns less than the minimum stipulated by management. 6 Assume the IRR is 10%  The investment will generate an annual return of cash flows of 10%. Assume the IRR is 10%  The investment will generate an annual return of cash flows of 10%.

BAII Plus Professional  Required for FIN 3403, your next business class  Contains a number of different financial functions  Much like a worksheet in Excel ® in that it contains cells that hold data

Cash Inflows and Outflows in the BAII  Amounts inputted stay in the CF worksheet until erased  Even if you turn your calculator off  Must specify cash flow directions  Cash inflows  Enter as positive numbers  Cash outflows  Entered as negative numbers  Cash flow (CF) worksheet  A stored worksheet/function in the BAII calculator  Used to determine NPV and IRR of a series of future cash flows

Frequency Function on BAII  Useful when the annual cash flow amount is expected to be the same numeric amount for multiple years  Frequency field appears as F01, F02, etc.  Where F = frequency  01, 02 = the period correlating to the respective cash flows, e.g., C01, C02, etc.  If the cash flow amount you entered is expected to be the same for two years, change the frequency from to  If the cash flow amount you entered is expected to be the same for three years, change the frequency from to
