		<description>Dear Sir: 
1.  I want to know the excell sheet of Economic Rate of Return where the input value will be 1 time capital cost, 20 years Overhead and maintenance cost = total cost, and my benefits are ( Increasing land value, Increasing trade and business, saving Maintenance cost= total Benefits) and last Net Benefits after Finding out I will figure out whether I will invest for the Road or not for construction.

(Non Revenue Project)
Given, 
PV  = 12%, year 20 years
Find,
Economic Rate of Return
Benefit Cost Ratio
Net Pesent Value

2.  Financial rate of Return of Construction of a building Input [One time capital cost O &amp; M Cost for 20 years, Sell of Room, Rental value of rooms= total income, lastly Net Income all will decide me whether I will go for the construction or not,
(Revenue Generating Project)

Given, 
NPV Discount factor = 8%, year 20 years
Find,
Financial Rate of Return
Benefit Cost Ratio
Net Pesent Value</description>

		<description>I would be interested in seeing your excel spreadsheet.

I&#039;ve seen two ways to calculate rate of return.  The first is from the Association of Investment Management and Research (AIMR) in Charlottesville, Virginia.  Their calculation is :

Monthly Return = (EB – ½C + ½W) / (BB + ½ C – ½W)

where BB is beginning balance, EB  is ending balance.  C is contribution during the period and W is withdrawal in the period.

The other, which I think may be better, uses the XIRR function in Excel.  I think it is better since it allows contributions/withdrawals that are more time dependent within the period being measured.  It takes an annualized value (provided by XIRR) and converts it to a given period value.  The formula is:

((XIIR result)+1)^((Ending date - Starting Date)/365)-1

^ is power of in Excel.  Ending date - Starting Date gives you the number of days being used in the measurement.
