(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round interest rate to 1 decimal place.)

Answer 1

Answer:

5%

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  

The interest rate implicit in the agreement can be determined by finding the internal rate of return.

Cash flow in year 0 =  $-196,401

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 7 = $33,942

IRR = 5%

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.
