    What is the Internal Rate of Return of the machine (to the nearest %)?
    A 16%
    B 17%
    C 18%
    D 19%

    A company is considering investing in a new machine that will cost $270,000 and will last for 4 years with a
    scrap value at the end of 4 years of $20,000.
    It is expected to generate operating cash inflows each year as follows:
    Year 1: $50,000
    Year 2: $180,000
    Year 3: $100,000
    Year 4 $50,000
    The cost of capital is 12% per annum.

    In calculating the IRR you can make any two guesses and then approximate between them.

    12% is an obvious first guess (since the cost of capital is 12%).

    The reason I chose 20% as the second guess is simply because the choices of answers in the question go up to 19%. You could equally have choose 19% as your second guess.

    I have not assumed anything at all. Any two guesses will do – the answer is only every approximate, which is they the questions asked to the nearest %.

    If you have not already done so, then I do suggest that you watch the free lectures on this. Our lectures are a complete course for Paper F2 and cover everything you need to be able to pass the exam well.
