Explanation / Answer

Lets use trial and error method to compute internal rate of return: IRR is the discount factor where NPV is 0. Step:1 Compute NPV @ 20% Year Cashflow PV @15% Present value 0 -231268 1 -231268 1 to 9 34000 4.031 137054 NPV -94214 Step:2 Compute NPV @ 15% Year Cashflow PV @15% Present value 0 -231268 1 -231268 1 to 9 34000 4.772 162248 NPV -69020 Step:3 Compute NPV @ 12% Year Cashflow PV @15% Present value 0 -231268 1 -231268 1 to 9 34000 5.328 181152 NPV -50116 Step:4 Compute NPV @ 10% Year Cashflow PV @15% Present value 0 -231268 1 -231268 1 to 9 34000 5.759 195806 NPV -35462 Step:5 Compute NPV @ 6% Year Cashflow PV @15% Present value 0 -231268 1 -231268 1 to 9 34000 6.802 231268 NPV 0 NPV becomes zero when discount factor=6%.Hence Internal rate of return=6%
