A company is considering a 5-year project. It plans to invest $62,000 now and it forecasts cash flows for each year of $16,200. The company requires a hurdle rate of 12%. Calculate the internal rate of return to determine whether it should accept this project. Selected factors for a present value of an annuity of 1 for five years are shown below: Interest rate  Present value of an annuity of 1 factor10%  3.790812%3.604814%3.4331

What will be an ideal response?


Investment/Annual net cash flows = $62,000/$16,200 = 3.827.
The present value factor of 3.827 falls below 10%. This project earns less than 10%. If the hurdle rate is 12%, this project should be rejected.
