Answer:

The IRR is 10%.

Explanation:

a) Calculation of Internal Rate of Return (IRR):

We choose a discount rate, say 10% and use it to discount the cash flows to their present values.  If the net present value (NPV) of all the cash flows equals zero, then that discount rate is accepted as the IRR.

b) Without 10% discount rate, the discount factors are for:

1st year = 1.1 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 1

2nd year = 1.21 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 2

3rd year = 1.331 (1 + discount rate) raised to power 3

c) These discount factors will divide the cash inflows for each year:

1st year, NPV = $15,364/1.1 = $13,967.27

2nd year, NPV = $15,364/1.21 = $12,697.52

3rd year, NPV = $15,364/1.331 = $11,543.20

Total NPV of inflows                 = $38,209 approximately

NPV of outflows                         -$38,209

NPV of inflows and outflows      $0

So, the IRR is 10%.

IRR is a capital budgeting metric to measure profitability by using a discount rate which makes the net present value of all cash flows to become zero.  To get a suitable rate, trial and error is involved, or one can make use of educated best guess.

Meanwhile, I hope these explanation below helps.

Answer and Explanation:

Two goods are said to be complementary goods if an increase in the price of a particular one leads to a commensurate decrease in the demand that buyers placed for the other one.

A good is said to be a normal good if the reason for an increase in demand is due to an increase in the income of the buyers.

A good is said to be an inferior good if there is a decrease in demand even though the buyers have experienced increase in their income.

When a fruit or vegetable (such as strawberries or lentils) is in season, the demand for it will increase as it becomes cheaper.
Olenka [21]

Answer: True

According to the law of demand, the demand for a good increases when its price falls. Thus, when a fruit or vegetable is in season, it is relatively less expensive than in off seasons. Thus, consumers buy more of these seasonal fruits in season. Thus, demand for the good increases when it becomes cheaper.

Thus, the statement is true.
