Solution
We can calculate internal rate of return by way of trial andd error method as depicted below by discounting each years cash flow assumin a discounting rate i.e. internal rate of return. The rate which gives the total of all discounted cash flows equivalent to the cosst of machinery i.e. $150000 would be the internal rate of return.
Thus from the above computation, we can conclude that the internal rate of return is 3% p.a. as the total of discounted cash flows using this rate is equal to the cost of maachine i.e. $150000
