Answer:

PROJECT B

Step-by-step 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 using a financial calculator

For project A,

Cash flow in year 0 = -10,000

cash flow in year 1 = 5,000

cash flow i year 2 - 4,000

cash flow in year 3 = 3,000

IRR = 10.65%

For project B,

Cash flow in year 0 = -10,000

cash flow in year 1 = 4,000

cash flow i year 2 - 3,000

cash flow in year 3 = 10,000

IRR = 26.37%

Project B would be ranked higher because it has a higher IRR

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
