Answer 1

Answer:

This question does not include what you are required to do. I looked it up on the web and it is asking for the Internal rate of return (IRR)

Explanation:

Internal rate of return used in project evaluations is the rate at which the NPV of a project equals to zero.

You can solve for IRR using a financial calculator and the cashflow "CF " function.  Key in the following inputs;

Initial investment; CF0 = -54,000

Yr1 cashflow inflow ; C01 = 27,000

Yr2 cashflow inflow ; C02 = 25,000

Yr3 cashflow inflow ; C03 = 20,000

Then key in IRR then CPT = 16.792%

Therefore, the Internal rate of return(IRR) for this equipment  is 16.79%
