The simple method of calculating IRR without MS Excel is Annuity Table:
Cost of the Project = 200,000
Annual Inflows = 40,000
Life of the Project = 6 years
Step 1: Calculate the payback period of the project
Payback Period = Initial Investment / Annual Inflows
= 200000/40000 = 5 years
Step 2: Now use the Present Value Annuity Table, and locate that at what rate for 6 years, the present value is 5 or around 5.
You will find that at the rate 5%, for 6 years, PV is 5.07569 and at 5.5%, for 6 years, PV is 4.99553. So, it means IRR lies between 5 to 5.5%.
Step 3: Use following formula to calculate exact IRR
= 5.47%
The IRR for the project is 5.47%
