Answer:
21%
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-400,000.
Cash flow in year 1 - 4 = $157,452.975
IRR = 21%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
42,750 = gross income standard deduction reduces your taxable income - 5700.00 exemption acts like a tax deduction, reducing taxable income - 3650.00 IRA contributions are tax deductible - 537.56 donating to charity is tax deductible - 918 mortgage interest payments are tax deductible - 1351.35 income NOT taxable - 5700 + 3650 + 537.56 + 918 + 1351.35 = 12,156.91. 42,750.00 - 12,156.91 = 30,593.09 <---taxable income I think I did this correctly, but just in case, you might want to get a second opinion :)
