An investment carrying a current cost of $130,000 is going to generate $70,000 of revenue in each of the next three years. To calculate the internal rate of return we need to:
options:
calculate the present value of each of the $70,000 payments and multiply these and set this equal to $130,000.
take the present value of $210,000 for three years from now and set this equal to $130,000.
set the sum of the present value of $70,000 for each of the next three years equal to $130,000.
subtract $130,000 from $210,000 and set this difference equal to the interest rate.
