Discount rate?


am designing a financing structure for a infrastructure finance. The implied irr is 12.5% over the life without capital gains. The implied risk premium is 7% which is similar to another similar investment that generate total returns of 20% including capital gains. The return on this type of investment is influenced by inflation and interest rates but it still outperform the market in the long run.

This is the available information to me. I want to find the discount rate so that I can discount the cash flows of the project to find the NPV. how can I find the discount rate with the given information?

Use the 20% because the investments are similar. As read, I understand that the "implied" discount rate would be 19.5% (12.5% plus 7% premium). The two numbers are pretty close, as stated in the problem that they are "similar." I would use 20%, though, since when you have a new project you would use the discount rate that corresponds to the project. (For example, if an airline manufacturing company uses a discount rate of 30% and are thinking of investing in petroleum, they would use the discount rate that corresponds to the petroleum business, rather than their own.)
