An investment requires an initial cash outflow of $5,100, and it will bring in cash inflows of $2,700, $1,500, $2,600, $2,700, for the next four years, respectively. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this project? (Format answer to percent and rounded to two decimals, enter your answers without %, for example, for answer 0.1243, enter 12.43 only)
The IRR is the interest rate that makes the NPV of the project equal to zero. So, the equation that defines the IRR for this project is:
0 = -$5,100 + $2,700/(1 + IRR) + $1,500/(1 + IRR)^2 + $2,600/(1 + IRR)^3 + $2,700/(1 + IRR)^4
IRR = 29.92%
