(Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Internal rate of return % If the required return is 16 percent, should the firm accept the project?

Answer 1

The project's IRR is 15.03% and the project should not be accepted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let IRR be x%

At IRR, present value of inflows = present value of outflows.

150,000 = 66000/1.0x + 73000/1.0x^2 + 57000v^3

x = IRR

= 15.03%

Since the IRR is less than the required return so, the project should not be accepted.

Therefore, The project's IRR is 15.03% and the project should not be accepted.
