From the author: The [i.sub.min] rate of an investment project is the smallest rate such that all the intermediate balances of the project have the same sign or are null. This rate is mainly used to determine whether an investment project is a pure or a mixed investment project. In this technical note we point out that as [i.sub.min] is the greatest internal rate of return among the ones of pure truncated projects and since no eventual mixed truncated project can have a root with a value greater or equal to [i.sub.min], we then can easily obtain [i.sub.min] by appropriate use of standard internal rate of return computing routines.
