You are considering a project with an initial cost of 42000
You are considering a project with an initial cost of $42,000. What is the IRR for this project if the cash inflows are $16,500, $28,400, and $7,500 a year over the next three years respectively? If the required return is 13% based on IRR, should this project be accepted?
Solution
Now IRR = 10 + {2105.94 / (2105.94+1246.32) }*5 = 10 + 3.141 = 13.141%
The required rate of return is 13% while the IRR of this project is 13.141% hence the project should be acceptable.
