Explanation / Answer

Annual rate of return can be calculated using IRR function on a calculator

Insert CF0 = -104,700, CF1 = 44,600....CF5 = 25,600

=> Compute IRR = 22.34%

NPV can be calculated using NPV function on a calculator or through formula

Insert CF0 = -104,700, CF1 = 44,600....CF5 = 25,600 and I/Y = 11%

=> Compute NPV = $28,055.60
