Slide2Chapter Opening Story - Investing in Wal-Mart Stock
In October 1,1970, when Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. went public, an investment of 100 shares cost $1,650.
That investment would have been worth $15,384,576 on September 30, 2014, after nine times stock splits for 2 for 1. What would be the
rate of return on this investment?

Slide3Rate
of Return
Investopedia
® says: IRRs can also be compared against prevailing rates of return in the securities market. If a firm can't find any projects with IRRs greater than the returns that can be generated in the financial markets, it may simply choose to invest its retained earnings in the market.
What it is
: Interest earned on your invested capital, or commonly known as internal rate of return (IRR)
ASimple Example
: The interest earned on your savings account is the rate of return on your deposits.

Slide5How Good Was the Wal-Mart Investment and What Can It Be Compared with?
If you took out $1,650 from your savings account and invested in Wal-Mart stock, you could have
$15,384,576
Or the equivalent to earning
23.09%
interest each year on your savings account over 44 years.
If you did not invest $1,650 in Wal-Mart stock, what could you use your money for?
If the best you could do was to leave the money in a savings account to earn 6% interest over 44 years, you would have
$21,426
.
What is the meaning of 6% interest? This will be your opportunity cost rate or minimum return required for any investment.
Slide6Is This a Good
Investment
?
In 1970, as long as you could earn
more than a 6% interest in another
investment opportunity,
you would take that investment
. Therefore
, that 6% is viewed as a
minimum attractive rate of return
(or required rate of return). This is the interest rate commonly used in NPW analysis. So to see if the proposed investment is a good one, you adopt the following decision rule:ROR (23.09%) > MARR(6%)
Slide7Why
is ROR measure
so popular?
This project will bring in a 15% rate of return on the investment
.
This project will result in a
net surplus of $10,000
in NPW.
Which statement is easier to understand?
Slide8Definition 1: Interest Earned on Loan Balance
Rate of return
(ROR) is defined as the interest rate earned on the
unpaid (outstanding) balance
of an installment loan.
Example
: A bank lends $10,000 and receives
an annual repayment of $4,021 over 3 years.
The
bank is said to earn a
return of 10%on its loan of $10,000.

Slide10Definition 2: Break-Even Interest Rate
Rate of return
(ROR) is the break-even interest rate,
i
*
, which equates the present worth of a project’s cash outflows to the present worth of its cash inflows.

Slide11Definition 3: Return on Invested
Capital: Internal
Rate of Return
The internal rate of return (IRR) is the interest rate earned on the
unrecovered
project
balance
of the investment such that when the project terminates, the unrecovered project balance will be zero.
Example
: A company invests $10,000 in a
computer system, which results in equivalent annual labor savings of $4,021 over 3 years. The company is said to earn a return of 10% on its investment of $10,000.
Slide12Return on Invested Capital
The firm earns a 10% rate of return on funds that remain
internally
invested in the project. Since the return is internal to the project, we call it
internal rate of return
.
