Compute the IRR static for Project E The appropriate cost of
Compute the IRR static for Project E. The appropriate cost of capital is 7 percent. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Should the project be accepted or rejected?

Solution
a. IRR 18.85% b. Accepted Working: IRR is the rate at which Net Present Value is zero. Calculate NPV at 7% Time Cash flow Discount factor Present Value 0 $ -2,000 1.0000 $ -2,000 1 $ 750 0.9346 $ 701 2 $ 780 0.8734 $ 681 3 $ 720 0.8163 $ 588 4 $ 500 0.7629 $ 381 5 $ 300 0.7130 $ 214 Total $ 565 Calculate NPV at 20% Time Cash flow Discount factor Present Value 0 $ -2,000 1.0000 $ -2,000 1 $ 750 0.8333 $ 625 2 $ 780 0.6944 $ 542 3 $ 720 0.5787 $ 417 4 $ 500 0.4823 $ 241 5 $ 300 0.4019 $ 121 Total $ -55 IRR = 7%+(20%-7%)*(565/(565+55)) = 18.85% Since IRR is more than cost of capital, project is to be Accepted.
