Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a synthesis of the relationship between intemal rates of retum and accounting rates of return. It restates and completes a number of classic results by providing demonstrations that are sometimes more general and often simpler than previous demonstrations. The example of a single project is briefly presented. Emphasis is placed on a firm in steady state growth and on the interpretation of accounting rates of retum as interna! rates of return that vary in time.
