IRR
4y ago#1I explain this in my free lectures!!
For every change of sign in the cash flows there is potentially (but not necessarily) one more IRR. Here the cash flows change from negative to positive and then to negative again - so two changes of sign and therefore potentially up to two IRR's. You cannot be expected to calculate the IRR's if there is more than one, but you can be expected to be aware of the possibility.
