In this paper, a case study was performed with an aim to analyze the asset returns for two different companies and the risk and returns from capital projects using standard capital asset pricing method. To demonstrate how the present values of future cash flows are influenced by discount rates...

The contracted internal rate of return (CIRR) of Korea's public-private-partnership (PPP) projects does not properly reflect the risks associated with the different types and characteristics of facilities and government support. Rather, the rates are set at the same level as similar preceding...

In this paper we introduce a methodology to estimate the portfolio IRR from portfolio constituents, when only the IRR and the money multiples of the constituents are available. We call this methodology RATZ IRR (reconstructed average time zero internal rate of return). There will be a deviation...

While the internal rate of return (IRR) remains to be widely used despite its well-documented flaws, considerable progress has been made in the literature on the search for a proper measure of performance of illiquid investments. Most recently, two general approaches have been proposed, namely...

The internal rate of return (IRR) is generally considered inferior to the net present value (NPV) as a tool for evaluating and ranking projects, despite its inherently useful comparability to the cost of capital and the return of other investment opportunities. We introduce the "selective IRR,"...

Most defined contribution pension plans pay benefits as lump sums, yet the US Treasury has recently encouraged firms to protect retirees from outliving their assets by converting a portion of their plan balances into longevity income annuities (LIA). These are deferred annuities which initiate...

Ausgehend von der Definition und Vorstellung barwertiger Konzepte der Zinsrisikomessung führt Noel Boka durch die Problematik von Autokorrelationen in der historischen Simulation. Nach der Verknüpfung der grundlegenden statistischen Eigenschaften mit der praktischen Anwendung folgt eine...

The foreclosure crisis that began in 2008 triggered the need for new approaches to treat distressed mortgages. A key component of the Obama Administration's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) was the development of a standardized Net Present Value (NPV) model to identify troubled loans...

This paper discusses sources of value in acquisitions. Using the discounted cash-flow valuation method, we develop a model that explains sources of economic gains that can be attained through mergers. The model identifies three major sources of value in mergers, each of which can reduce or...
