Question

1. NPVs, IRRs, and MIRRs for Independent Projects
Edelman Engineering is considering including two pieces of equipment, a truck and an overhead pulley system, in this year's capital budget. The projects are independent. The cash outlay for the truck is $19,000, and that for the pulley system is $20,000. The firm's cost of capital is 12%. After-tax cash flows, including depreciation, are as follows:
Year Truck Pulley
1 $5,100 $7,500
2 5,100 7,500
3 5,100 7,500
4 5,100 7,500
5 5,100 7,500
Calculate the IRR for each project. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer:

IRR for truck = 10.68%

IRR for pulley = 25.41%

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow for the truck :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-19,000

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = 5,100

IRR = 10.68%

Cash flow for the pulley :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-20,000

Cash flow each year from year one to five = $7,500

IRR = 25.41%

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
