Question

The management of Elamin Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $365,695 and would have a useful life of 9 years. The machine would have no salvage value. The machine would reduce labor and other operating costs by $61,000 per year. The internal rate of return on the investment in the new machine is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):

Answer 1

Answer:

Internal Rate of Return (IRR) 9,00%

Explanation:

We use excel or a spreadsheet to calculate this ratio. See document attached.

We use a cash flow to solve this problem.

At moment 0 we have the investment cost , in this case  $365,695. From period 1 to period 9, we have incomes o benefits of $61,000. Then, we calculate the Net cash flow that is the difference between benefits and cost.

We use all the result (positive and negative) in Net cash flow to get the IRR.
