Answer:

12.23%

Step-by-step explanation:

Using an Excel spreadsheet we can determine the internal rate of return by using the IRR function:

inputs

-7873

102

123

121

155 + 11900 = 12055

IRR = 12.23%

You can also use a financial calculator, or do it by hand. Doing by hand is simply too much work for something that can be solved in a few seconds.
