    There is an initial cost of $300,000, so the present value of this is $300,000.

    There is a net inflow of 120,000 – 30,000 = 90,000 per year for 5 years. To get the present value of these flows, multiply 90,000 by the 5 year annuity discount factor at 10%.

    Finally, there is a scarp receipt of 20,000 in 5 years time. To get the present value of this, multiply by the ordinary present value factor for 5 years at 10%.

    The net present value is then the total of the PV’s of the 2 sets of inflows, less the initial outflow of 300,000.

    If you are asked for the IRR, then you repeat the steps that I wrote before, but with a different interest rate – any interest rate will do, say 20%.

    Then having got a second NPV you can approximate between the two interest rates (10% and 20%) to estimate the IRR.
