1.Let irr be x%
At irr,present value of inflows=present value of outflows.
35000=17000/1.0x+17000/1.0x^2+16000/1.0x^3+15000/1.0x^4+14000/1.0x^5
Hence x=irr=36.74%(Approx).
2.Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=17000/1.08+17000/1.08^2+16000/1.08^3+15000/1.08^4+14000/1.08^5
=$63570.43
NPV=Present value of inflows-Present value of outflows
=$63570.43-$35000
=$28570.43
PI=NPV/Present value of outflows
=$28570.43/$35000
=0.82(Approx).
