A firm evaluates all of its projects by applying the IRR rule. A project under consideration has the following cash flows:
Year | Cash Flows |
0 | -24326 |
1 | 12923 |
2 | 12936 |
3 | 12896 |
What is the IRR for this project
The IRR is the rate at which the NPV of the project is zero.
Let's compute the NPV at 27% as shown below:
= - 24,326 + 12,923 / 1.271 + 12,936 / 1.272 + 12,896 / 1.273
= 165.6242226
Let's compute the NPV at 28% as shown below:
= - 24,326 + 12,923 / 1.281 + 12,936 / 1.282 + 12,896 / 1.283
= - 185.1064453
So, the NPV of the project will be as follows:
= Lower rate + Lower rate NPV / ( Lower rate NPV - higher rate NPV) x ( Higher rate - Lower rate)
= 27% + 165.6242226 / ( 165.6242226 - ( - 185.1064453 ) ] x 1
= 27% + 165.6242226 / 350.7306679
= 27.47% Approximately
