Answer 1

Explanation:

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

The IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = –$28,500

Cash flow in year 1 = $12,500

Cash flow in year 2 = 15,500

Cash flow for year 3 = $11,500

IRR = 18.49%

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

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