An investment project requires an initial outlay of $100,000, and is expected to generate annual cash inflows of $28,000 for the next 5 years. The cost of capital is 12 percent. Determine the internal rate of return for the project (to the nearest tenth of one percent).

 a.  | 
 12.0%  | 
| 
 b.  | 
 12.6%  | 
| 
 c.  | 
 3.6%  | 
| 
 d.  | 
 12.4%  | 
Let irr be x%
At irr,present value of inflows=present value of outflows.
100,000=28000/1.0x+28000/1.0x^2+28000/1.0x^3+28000/1.0x^4+28000/1.0x^5
Hence x=irr=12.4%(Approx)
