Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the profitability or the ability to generate revenues of the money that remains invested during the life of a proyect. It is also known as the discount rate or cost rate that makes the Net Present Value (NPV) equal to cero. When the NPV is greater than cero, then the proyect creates value ( it is attractive to investors) if it is less than cero, then the proyect destroys value and investors are going to loose money. If the NPV is equal to cero, then investors  recover their investment but they do not obtain gains nor losses. The minimum rate of return is the one in which at least investors obtain the same amount ( in present value) of their investment; that is the internal rate of return (IRR).
