Question
Joetz Corporation has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project (Ignore income taxes.):
The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment.
Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using the tables provided.
The internal rate of return of the investment is closest to:
16%
18%
20%
22%
Investment required in equipment $ 30,000 Annual cash inflows $ 6,000 Salvage value of equipment $ 0 Life of the investment 15 years Required rate of return 10 %Explanation / Answer
Internal rate of return is the rate at which if we discount all the future cash flows, the resulting NPV will be zero, it is minimum rate of return that management seeks from the project, IRR of the asset/project must be greater than the required rate of return, otherwise it will not be feasible for the management to accept the project. Best way to calculate IRR is using Excel.
