THE EX‐POST INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN: WHO NEEDS IT? *

THE EX‐POST INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN: WHO NEEDS IT? * Abstract: The relationship between the accounting rate of return and the internal rate of return has been the subject of quite a number of articles. In many of these, it has been assumed that the ex post internal rate of return represents a desirable measure of performance, and efforts have been made to deduce its value from accounting rates of return. The present paper draws attention to some limitations of the ex post internal rate of return and throws doubt on its usefulness as a measure of performance. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Accounting & Finance Wiley

Abstract

Abstract: The relationship between the accounting rate of return and the internal rate of return has been the subject of quite a number of articles. In many of these, it has been assumed that the ex post internal rate of return represents a desirable measure of performance, and efforts have been made to deduce its value from accounting rates of return. The present paper draws attention to some limitations of the ex post internal rate of return and throws doubt on its usefulness as a measure of performance.
