    When I calculate IRR : 5% + (12.59/12.59+12.47) * 5% i am not getting 7.51%
    My calculator (Casio fx-83GT PLUS) is giving me 0.7235. Please can you help with how to plug this in?

    I don’t have that calculator and so I cannot tell you which order to press all the buttons!

    However, you can do it in steps:

    first the bit in the brackets: 12.59/(12.59+12.47) = 12.59 / 25.06 = 0.502394

    multiply that by 5 gives 2.51

    Add that to 5 and you get 7.51

    (Obviously you can do those steps one after the other on a calculator without keep having to write down the answer at each stage.)
