The project will need an initial investment of $1,200,000 and will generate $600,000 (after-tax) cash flows for three years. However, at the end of the fourth year, the project will generate -$500,000 of after-tax cash flow due to dismantling costs. Calculate the IRR for the project if the cost of capital is 15%.

Answer:

6.53%

Explanation:

Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $-1,200,000

Cash flow each ueaar from year 1 o 3 = $600,000

Cash flow in year 4 = $-500,000

IRR = 6.53%

To find the IRR using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
