A point where profile of net present value crosses horizontal axis at plotted graph indicates project internal rate of return. The internal rate of return (IRR) is a metric used in capital budgeting to estimate the profitability of potential investments.
In independent projects evaluation, results of internal rate of return and net present value lead to cost decision. An Independent Project Evaluation is the evaluation of an individual project designed to achieve specific objectives within specified resources, in an adopted time span and following an established plan of action, often within the framework of a broader programme.
