		The discount rate is the rate by which benefits that accrue in some future time period must be adjusted so that they can be compared with values in the present.
		In principle, this rate is the rate that equilibrates the demand for savings by investors and the supply of savings from savers who refrain from spending all of their income on current consumption.
		Choosing the correct rate for a cost-benefit analysis is important because society wishes, in principle, to undertake a mix of public and private investments that maximize social well-being.

	AICPA Investment Outlook (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Acknowledging the need for consistency in reporting investment returns separate from investors actions, the investment community uses a standard performance measurethe time-weighted returnwhich essentially is a calculation of the investment return generated by a manager over specific time periods that are geometrically linked or compounded.
		Intuitively, this return might be thought of as a weighted average of achieving a 25% return (earning $25 on $100 invested) for one-third of the period under analysis and a 20% return (earning $25 on $125 invested) for two-thirds of the period.
		A modest investment that has performed quite well over the past several years may experience a disastrous run immediately after a large additional investment, leaving a client with a very real aggregate economic loss and a biased perception of the managers performance.

		The key assumption in rate of return models is the annual rate of appreciation of the property.
		This rate is the annual percentage increase in the value of the investment necessary to raise the value of the property to what the investor thinks (or hopes) the property will be worth after a certain number of years.

	The Value of a College Degree. ERIC Digest.
		In order to determine whether higher education is worth the investment, it is useful to examine what is known about the value of higher education and the rates of return on investment to both the individual and to society.
		There is considerable support for the notion that the rate of return on investment in higher education is high enough to warrant the financial burden associated with pursuing a college degree.
		While it is clear that investment in a college degree, especially for those students in the lowest income brackets, is a financial burden, the long-term benefits to individuals as well as to society at large, appear to far outweigh the costs.

	Investment in the Intellectual Property Driven Firm and Required Rates of Return (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Starting from fundamentals, the return that an angel investor would like from an investment in IP is very different than that sought by a large public company.
		This typically features a greater focus on financial structuring and engineering, with the return on investment dependent on the stability of the firm’s cash flows, the performance of the capital markets, or the ability to leverage a trade and simply write down the debt portion to increase the value of the investment in the firm.
		Accordingly, the required rate of return on the IP/IA in the firm may not be linked to the actual return that the private equity/leveraged buyout investor requires.

		Returns of 10% to 15% per year on invested capital are normally considered to be very good.
		In most cases, the return (expressed as a percentage of the total investment) is usually smaller on high investment franchise opportunities than on low investment opportunities.
