Assume an industrial building can be purchased for $2,500,000 today. The investment is expected to yield cash flows of $300,000 a year for the next five years (the cash flows will be received at the end of the year). The building is expected to sell for $2,750,000 at the end of the fifth year. Calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for this transaction. show work please
For solving the question we are going to use the IRR function in Excel:
Syntax of the IRR function in Excel is:
=IRR (values, [guess]), where values - Array or reference to cells that contain values & guess - [optional] An estimate for expected IRR
Total Cashflow in the year 5 would be = Cashflow in Year 5 + Building Selling Value
Total Cashflow in the year 5 would be = $300,000 + $2,750,000 = $3,050,000
For using the IRR function just select the Amount column and drag it from Intital Investment row to Cashflo in Year 5 row you will get the IRR for the transaction.
Internal rate of return (IRR) for this transaction is 13.53% (Rounded to two decimal places else 13.527%)
