Question

Starr, Co. is considering a five-year project that has an initial after-tax outlay of $250,000. The respective future cash inflows from its project for years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are: $5,000, $5,000, $12,000, $43,000 and $51,000. Starr uses the internal rate of return method to evaluate projects. What is Starr's IRR? Answer                                                   
           The IRR is about 11.16%.                             
           The IRR is about 26.16%.                             
           The IRR is over 26.50%.                             
           The IRR is less than 3.25%. Starr, Co. is considering a five-year project that has an initial after-tax outlay of $250,000.

Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the answer as follows:


To calculate IRR, you need to put the value of NPV as 0 and solve for r as follows:


NPV = 0 = -250000 + 5000/(1+r)^1 + 5000/(1+r)^2 + 12000/(1+r)^3 + 43000/(1+r)^4 + 51000/(1+r)^5


Solving for r, we get IRR as: -16.67%


Option D (The IRR is less than 3.25%) is correct.


Thanks.
