The internal rate of return for this investment is a.9% b.3% c.10% d.12%

Answer 1

Answer:

D

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 with a financial calculator  

Cash flow in year 0 = $-109,332

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $36,000

IRR = 12%

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.
