Based on an internal rate of return analysis: Determine the investment worth: % (IRR)

Explanation / Answer

Hi,

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

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

NPV = 0 = -70000 + 20000/(1+r)^1 + 19000/(1+r)^2 + 18000/(1+r)^3 + 17000/(1+r)^4 + 16000/(1+r)^5 + 15000/(1+r)^6 + 14000/(1+r)^7 + 13000/(1+r)^8 + 12000/(1+r)^9 + 11000/(1+r)^10 + 10000/(1+r)^11 + 9000/(1+r)^12 + 8000/(1+r)^13 + 7000/(1+r)^14 + 6000/(1+r)^15 + 5000/(1+r)^16 + 4000/(1+r)^17 + 3000/(1+r)^18 + 2000/(1+r)^19 + 10000/(1+r)^20

Solving for r, we get IRR as: 22.27%

Answer is 22.27%.

Thanks.
