Answer 1

Answer:

IRR =  14.59%

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = -$1,100

Cash flow in year 1 = $325

Cash flow in year 2 = $325

Cash flow in year 3 = $325

Cash flow in year 4 = $325

Cash flow in year 5 = $325

IRR =  14.59%

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
