    Hello Sir,
    Hope you are well!
    Ques –
    Year Option A
    $
    0 Capital outlay (10,200)
    1 Net cash inflow 6,000
    2 Net cash inflow 5,000
    3 Net cash inflow 3,000
    The company’s cost of capital is 16%.
    Now for IRR I have taken 16 and 20% however still the NPV is coming Positive 610 and 5 respectively then how can I got beyond 20% as we do not have discounting table for it and in that case how do we calculate the IRR ?

    You can still use the same logic as normal just using 16% and 20% and I do show this in my free Paper MA lectures (and the answer would be a little bit more than 20%).

    However, given that you will be sitting the computer based exam it makes more sense (if it is part of a Section C question) just to use the IRR function on the spreadsheet provided and this will give the IRR without needing to make two guesses.
