Nikolai Pugh · Answer 1

35.8%

Explanation:

purchase price 3 years ago $15, so CF₀ = - 15

CF₁ = $1

CF₂ = $2

CF₃ = $3 + $30 = $33

using an excel spreadsheet (or you can also a financial calculator), you must determine the internal rate of return (IRR) = 35.8%

the IRR is the interest rate where NPV = 0, or the future cash flows equal the investment amount
