IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator

cash floe in yer0 = 200

cash flow in year 1 = -80

cash flow in year 2 = - 70

cash flow in year 2 = - 60

cash flow in year 2 = - 40

irr = 12.44%

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.
