Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
‘Quick Internal Rate of Return’ offers a fast and easy way to compute the IRR
of a stream of annual amounts usually starting with an investment treated as a
negative amount.
The unique data entry GUI employing sliders and buttons improves upon
the more typical numeric pad mechanism. Using a slider, a plus/minus button,
and addition and subtraction buttons for small adjustment, you are able to
populate the annual cash flow fields between -1000 and +1000 quickly and
precisely.
For entering numbers beyond plus or minus 1000 with two decimal place precision, you have the option of
using a numeric keypad for data entry. The ability to switch between slider or keypad
is provided on the 'information' page.
Although periodic amounts are shown as yearly amounts, the user may
interpret these as generic periodic amounts. For example, each amount
could be considered a quarterly amount and the IRR computed would be
interpreted as the return based on that frequency as well.
The iPad version of Quick Internal Rate of Return allows you to add, retrieve, reorder, or delete data sets.
It also displays a graph of the present value of the cash flows discounted at various rates between
0% and 25%.
