    Hi John,

    I am trying to solve one of the questions given in mock exam on this site.

    Required 24,000 at time 0
    Generates inflow of 5,000/year for 8 years (first inflow in 1 yrs time)
    I need to calculate IRR

    My calculations… (as in the question was not given d.f. I took 10% and 5% to calculate NPV)

    0yr (24,000) x 1 = (24,000)

    1-8yrs 5,000 x 5,335 = 26,675
    1yr 5,000 x 0,909 = (4,545)

    NVP (10%) is (1,870)

    0yr (24,000) x 1 = (24,000)

    1-8yrs 5,000 x 6,463 = 32,315
    1yr 5,000 x 0,952 = (4,760)

    NVP (5%) is (3,555)

    10% – 5% = 5%
    1,870 + 3,555 = 5,425

    IRR = a + ((NPVa/NPVa-NPVb) x (b-a))

    IRR = 5% + ((3,555/5,425) x 5%) = 8.26%

    And I am not even close to the answer (13%)

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks, Yana

    I thank u supose to Use the redeemption value of 100 and discount it at 0.467 at 10% and at 15% (0.233). Your final IRR will give sum thing like 12.9% which when u round of it will give you 13%.
    Just a try,frm Mac D

    Therefore: IRR=10+(2272/2272+1528) (15% – 10%)
    Then : 10% + 2.989
    Gives ,IRR of 13%

    Donald: Thanks for answering, but please do not answer in the Ask the Tutor Forum because you are not the tutor 🙂

    Yana:

    Since the first inflow is in 1 years time, the flows are 1 to 8.

    To get the present value you simply multiply by the 8 year annuity factor. This discounts for 1 to 8 and you don’t need to then subtract 1 year as you have done.
    So the present value at 10% is 26675 – 24000 = + 2675
