Bryant Contreras · Answer 1

The IIR is the rate at which if the cash flow of project is discounted to present value, it becomes nil. This actually gives the rate of return on the project.

In the present case, initial cash outflow = 34000

NPV of project = - 34000 + 15000 / (1+r) + 17000 / (1+r) ² + 13000 / (1+r) ³

r is IIR

r = 15.75

15000 / 1.1575 + 17000 / 1.1575² + 13000 / 1.1575³

= 12958 + 12688 + 8382 = 34028
