Explanation / Answer

1. IRR is that rate at which Present value of cash inflow is equal to present value of cash outflow

42025 / (1+r)^1 + 42025 / (1+r)^2 + 42025 / (1+r)^3 + 42025 / (1+r)^4 = 125000

Solving for r we get that PV of cash inflows equals PV of cash outflows at 13% approx.

Option D is correct.
