Do not round intermediate caloulstions. Round your answer to two decimal places What is Project B's IRR? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal placesExplanation / Answer
Let irr be x%
At irr,present value of inflows=present value of outflows.
A:
1050=610/1.0x+385/1.0x^2+290/1.0x^3+330/1.0x^4
Hence x=IRR=23.03%(Approx)
B:
1050=210/1.0x+320/1.0x^2+440/1.0x^3+780/1.0x^4
Hence x=IRR=19.10%(Approx)
