A company is considering investing in a project that costs $70,000, has an expected useful life of 4 years, a salvage value of 0, and will increase net annual cash flows by $21,600. The approximate internal rate of return on this project is
Group of answer choices 11% 10% 9% 8%
IRR is calculated by the condition that the discount rate is set such that the NPV = 0 for a project.
IRR can be calculated by using an repetetive process where the one tries different discount rates until the NPV equals to zero
When 9 % is tried an amount approximately equal to $70,000 is found
Therefore answer is 9%
present value = future value / (1 + r)n where r is rate and n is number of years
First year - (21600)/(1 + .09) = 19,816.51
Second year - 21600/(1 + .09)2 = 18,180.29
Third year - 21600/(1 + .09)3 = 16,679.16
Forth year - 21600/(1 + .09)4 = 15,301.99
Total = 69,977.95
