Question

Consider the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 –$ 32,500 1 14,800 2 16,900 3 12,200 What is the IRR of the above set of cash flows? (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 %

Answer 1

The correct answer is 17.22%.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Let IRR be X, then we can calculate the IRR by using following formula:

Year 0 = Year 1 cash flow ÷ ( 1 + IRR)^1 + Year 2 Cash flow ÷ ( 1 + IRR)^2 + Year 3 Cash flow ÷ ( 1 + IRR)^3 + Year 0 Cash flow

By putting the value, we get

0 = $14,800 ÷ ( 1 + X)^1 + $16,900 ÷ ( 1 + X)^2 + $12,200 ÷ ( 1 + X)^3 - $32,500 By solving the function

IRR = 17.22%
