Generation

The internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate at which a project's net present value equals zero, representing the expected annualized return on an investment. It serves as a key metric for evaluating investment profitability and comparing different projects, with investments typically accepted when IRR exceeds the required rate of return or cost of capital. IRR allows decision-makers to quickly assess whether a project will generate sufficient returns to justify the investment.
