What is the IRR?

Hamilton Control Systems will invest $77,000 in a temporary project that will generate the following cash inflows:

  

Explanation / Answer

a. Present Value of Cash flow

PV 21,000, N 1, R 9% = 21000 * 0.9174 = 19,265

PV 34,000, N 2, R 9% = 34000 * 0.8417 = 28,618

PV 40,000, N 3, R 9% = 40000 * 0.7722 = 30,888

Total = $78,771

Present Value of Cash outflow

Initial Outflow = $77,000

PV 20,000, N 3, R 9% = 20000 * 0.7722 = $15,444

Total PV of Cash Outflow = $92,444

Net Present value = 78,771 - 92,444 = -$13,733
