8y ago#1As I explain in the lectures, there is potentially one IRR for every change of sign in the cash flows. So since the cash flows change sign twice - negative, then positive, then negative - there are potentially 2 IRR's.
However 'potentially' does not mean that there have to be 2 - there can be a maximum of 2. So 0, 1 or 2.
