A project with an initial cost of $76,940 is expected to generate annual cash flows of $18,120 for the next 8 years. What is the project\'s internal rate of return?
15.04%
16.71%
15.87%
18.10%
18.57%
Solution
IRR is the rate of return that makes NPV eqaul to zero
NPV = Annuity * [ 1 - 1 / ( 1 + R)n] / R - Initial Invetsment
NPV = 18,120 * [ 1 - 1 / ( 1 + R)8] / R - 76,940
Let\'s try values for R from the options, Let\'s try 16.71%
NPV = 18,120 * [ 1 - 1 / ( 1 + 0.1671)8] / 0.1671 - 76,940
NPV = 0
Therefore IRR is 16.71%
