Thank you so much,so well explained

[@opentuition]

Thank you for your comment :-)

[@user-fx1xo1cv1j]

At the exam, would you say presenting ability to calculate IRR manually would gain us points, or we can just go with IRR formula?

[@margaretnjenga2181]

Please explain the part where you got the Present value anuity factor for 10% as 0.621.

[@opentuition]

There is no annuity as regards the redemption. The redemption is in 5 years time and so needs discounting for 5 years. 0.621 is the discount factor for 5 years at 10%. It is only the interest each year that is an annuity.

Where is the question ? The notes have been updated and have different questions now

[@opentuition]

No - that is not the case. This lecture is going through the second part of the chapter on the cost of capital.

[@abi71200]

shouldnt the 6% be tax deductable? 6 x 0.7 = 4.2 ?

[@opentuition]

I assume that you are referring to example 8. For part (a) which is asking for the return to the investor, company tax is irrelevant because it does not affect the investor. For part (b) which is asking for the cost to the company then we do take the after tax interest of 4.20. I do explain this in the lecture, and also the printed answers in the free lecture notes show this.

Why discount factor at 10% and 15%?

[@mohamedmubeen1739]

To find IRR. Which helps us to give NPV in zero. refer his video of chapter 7.
