Explanation / Answer


Determine the IRR on the following projects:
a. Initial outlay of $35,000 with an after-tax cash flow at the end of the year of $5,836 for seven years
b. Initial outlay of $350,000 with an after-tax cash flow at the end of the year of $70,000 for seven years
c. Initial outlay of $3,500 with an after-tax cash flow at the end of the year of $1,500 for three years

a. IO = ACFt PVIF[IRR%, t yr.]

$35,000 = $5,836 PVIF[IRR%, 7 yr.]

, IRR = 4%

             b. $350,000 = $70,000 PVIF[IRR%, 7 yr.]

IRR = 9.2%

             c. $3,500 = $1,500 PVIF[IRR%, 3 yr.]

, IRR = 13.7%
