Irr calculation and grant in add

While calculating IRR,

 

1. Should we consider Govt grant in add , as we are not refunding the same.

 

2. Ongoing project say after 5 years, should we factor into salvage value ? What else, if project runs over 15 years plus

IRR for what purpose? Capital equipment? All cash inflows and outflows are factored. Use =irr in excel and it asks for a rate. Rather use XIRR which asks for dates. 

IRR with government grants:
• For project IRR (from the project's perspective), include the grant as a cash inflow at the time it's received (since it isn't refundable, it reduces net investment). Equity IRR similarly includes it.
• If the grant is conditional and may need refund, consider probability-adjusted inflows or sensitivity analysis.
• Ongoing maintenance (capex replacements) should be included as cash outflows in the years incurred. Depreciation isn't a cash flow, but its tax shield is (in post-tax IRR).
• Lenders often compute IRR excluding grants (pure project). Present both.
