    The IRR will always be different with different guesses because the relationship is not linear, and any answer using two guesses is therefore only approximate.

    If you are within a few % of the examiners answer then you are almost certainly correct and would get full marks.

    Ideally (but not essentially) you would use guesses that give one positive and one negative. The examiner used 30% which means discounting using the formula because the tables do not go that far.
