NPV vs. IRR Discount rate 0%, NPV =$670,000

Discount rate 2%, NPV=$614,400

Discount rate 6%, NPV=$514,820

Discount rate 11% NPV= $409,000

Capital Cost 5%, Modified IRR= 45.6%

Upon plotting these points on a chart an obvious relationship is modeled. The lower the discount rate the higher the NPV appears to manifest. The curve crosses the x axis at a discount rate of .03%.

Rate at 1%, NPV=$65,358

Rate at 4%, NPV= $7,593

Rate at 10%, NPV= -$91,776

Rate at 18%, NPV= -$197,871

Discount rate at X axis = 2.8%

NPV=3,864,000

Anthes (2003) presented some very useful descriptions of the terms net present value (NPV)...
