TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the convergence of cash recovery rate for a wide range of projects, and the fact that recovery rate converges to the capital recovery factor has an economic significance in evaluating corporate profitability.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the convergence of cash recovery rate. The fact that, for a wide range of projects, recovery rate converges to the capital recovery factor has an economic significance in evaluating corporate profitability. A corporation invests in a variety of projects, each having a different cash recovery pattern. However, if it is reasonable to assume that a mix of such projects as well as the cash flow patterns of these projects are reasonably stable over time, then corporate investments is regarded as repeated investments in a given composite project with a given cash flow pattern over its life. For a mature corporation, this may be a reasonable assumption. While it is true that a corporation continually seeks new ventures, their impact on the composite project seems to be relatively small in many cases.
