A machine is purchased by making payments of $16,000 at the beginning of each of five years with the first payment to be made today. Company determines the cost of the machine is $65,000. What was the implicit interest rate? (Use Time factor table)

According to question, a machine is purchased by making payments of $ 16,000 at the beginning of each of 5 Years. Cost of Machine is $ 65,000.
Required: - Calculate Implicit Interest Rate or Internal rate of return (IRR)
At Implicit interest rate, Present Value of cash inflow = Present Value of cash outflow
Implicit Interest Rate is the interest rate where,
PVAF (Interest rate, 5) x $ 16,000 = $ 65,000
[PVAF = Present value annuity factor]
PVAF (9%, 5) x $ 16,000= 3.88965 x $ 16,000 = $ 62,234.40
PVAF (11%, 5) x $ 16,000= 3.69590 x $ 16,000= $ 59,134.40
Therefore using interpolation we find interest rate where, PVAF (Interest rate, 5) = $65,000
Let the desired implicit interest rate be A
Therefore,
A - 9 |
= |
65000 - 62234.4 |
11 - 9 |
59134.4 - 62234.4 |
So, A = 7.22 %
The desired implicit interest rate is 7.22%
