A More General Sufficient Condition for a Unique Nonnegative Internal Rate of Return

Richard H. Bernhard

Abstract

In a past issue of the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Norstrπm [7] has presented a very simple sufficient condition for detecting whether a given pattern of cash flows over time has a unique nonnegative internal rate of return. Nor strum's condition is now widely cited in the literature and included in stock computer routines for analyses using the internal rate of return. See, e.g., de Faro [5] and Newnan [6].
