TERM OF THE DAY:
What is....
' IRR Rule ' ?
--
The IRR rule is a guideline for evaluating whether to proceed with a project or investment. The IRR rule states that if the internal rate of return (IRR) on a project or an investment is greater than the minimum required rate of return, typically the cost of capital, then the project or investment should be pursued. Conversely, if the IRR on a project or investment is lower than the cost of capital, then the best course of action may be to reject it.

Breaking Down...
' IRR Rule ' :
--
The higher the IRR on a project and the greater the amount by which it exceeds the cost of capital, the higher the net cash flows to the investor. The IRR rule is used to evaluate projects in capital budgeting, but it may not always be rigidly enforced. For example, a company may prefer a project with a lower IRR over one with a higher IRR because the former provides other intangible benefits, such as being part of a bigger strategic plan or impeding competition. A company may also prefer a larger project with a lower IRR to a much smaller project with a higher IRR because of the higher cash flows generated by the larger project.
Example Internal Rate or Return Rule Decision:
Assume there are two projects that a company is reviewing. Management must decide whether to move forward with one, none or both of the projects. The cash flow patterns for each project are as follows:
Project A
Initial Outlay = $5,000
Year one = $1,700
Year two = $1,900
Year three = $1,600
Year four = $1,500
Year five = $700
Project B
Initial Outlay = $2,000
Year one = $400
Year two = $700
Year three = $500
Year four = $400
Year five = $300
The IRR for each project must be calculated. This is through an iterative process, solving for IRR in the following equation:
$0 = (initial outlay x -1) + CF1 / (1 + IRR) ^ 1 + CF2 / (1 + IRR) ^ 2 + ... + CFX / (1 + IRR) ^ X
Using the above examples, the IRR for each project is calculated as:
IRR Project A: $0 = (-$5,000) + $1,700 / (1 + IRR) ^ 1 + $1,900 / (1 + IRR) ^ 2 + $1,600 / (1 + IRR) ^ 3 + $1,500 / (1 + IRR) ^ 4 + $700 / (1 + IRR) ^ 5
IRR Project B: $0 = (-$2,000) + $400 / (1 + IRR) ^ 1 + $700 / (1 + IRR) ^ 2 + $500 / (1 + IRR) ^ 3 + $400 / (1 + IRR) ^ 4 + $300 / (1 + IRR) ^ 5
IRR Project A = 16.61%
IRR Project B = 5.23%
If the company's cost of capital is 10%, management should proceed with Project A and reject Project B.

Since Steemit dev's changed the size of the picture frame that shows, it has honestly been a real problem getting images to match the screen, it was perfectly fine months ago before they messed around with it.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I've recently been talked with about being recommended to be involuntarily transferred to VTU due to my NOSC saying that I didn't log on it in the last window.
I am a regular drilling reservist with no interest in retiring, if I do get sent to VTU I would like to request to go IRR. From what I understand, the process is very simple, but in some circumstances you may be required to pay a bonus back. I received a small bonus, however it's been roughly 4 years since I graduated A School, and 6 years since I signed my contract. That said, here are some questions:
Is there a time limit that would make this rule not apply?
If I was involuntarily transferred to VTU, would this change the answer to the above question?
Lastly, I'm not even sure if they have my bonus on record, or if I signed another contract to get it. The contract I have with me doesn't mention it at all, I received it at a much later date. Does anyone know how to navigate to your contract on NSIPS or some other random navy website, or where you would go to view bonus information about a bonus you received?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
It is a well explained article, but due to descriptive over use of language the theme does not get clear at first reading.
IRR is also good, thanks for your brief explanation
