We have to calculate the internal rate of return that is irr for the project.
00:07
So we can set up the following equation based on the project's cash flows.
00:13
0 is equal to minus 63 ,000 added to 1 ,36 ,000 divided by 1 added to r added to minus 53 ,000 divided by 1 added to r whole square where r is the discount rate or irr we want to find.
00:38
The first term that is minus 63 ,000 represent the initial investment or outflow at the time 0.
00:43
The second term 1 ,36 ,000 divided by 1 added to r represent the inflow at the end of first year discounted to the present value and the third term that is minus 53 ,000 divided by 1 added to r whole square represents the outflow at the end of the second year discounted to the present value.
01:03
Now we can solve this equation for r.
01:06
So there is no closed form solution.
01:09
So we'll use the numerical methods or financial calculator to find irr...
