Answer:

No; The IRR is less than the required return.

Explanation:

Calculation  of IRR is given by the formula: Lr x NPVL / NPVL - NPVH x (Hr - Lr)

where

Lr  = Lower rate of discount

Hr = Higher rate of discount

NPVH = NPV at Higher discount rate

NPVL = NPV at Lower discount rate

Assume a low discount rate of 1% and a high rate of 20%

<u>NPV at 1%</u>

<u>Particulars        Year 0  Year 1    Year 2   Year 3</u>

Cash flows       152,000  71,800  86,900  (11,200)

DCF 1%                 1           0.99    0.98       0.97

Present values (152,000) 71,082 85,162   (10,864)

NPV = $6,620

<u />

<u>NPV at 20%</u>

<u>Particulars        Year 0  Year 1    Year 2   Year 3</u>

Cash flows       152,000  71,800  86,900  (11,200)

DCF 20%                 1           0.83    0.69       0.58

Present values (152,000) 59,594 59,961   (6,496)

NPV = ($38,941)

Substituting values in the IRR formula we have:

1% x [($6,620 / ($6620 - (38,941))] x (20% - 1%) = 2.06%

Therefore we reject the project because it gives an IRR lower than the required rate of return of 15.5%

Svetradugi [14.3K]
The application administrator should tighten measures on the external application used in the database backend especially when it comes to creating user IDs in order to prevent unauthorized users - any off-campus or even non-affiliated users to indiscriminately post links, especially malware and malicious ones. This can be done by selecting a viable verification method in order to only allow on-campus students to sign-up to the service.
