Using our website software to calculate IRR, the IRR = 14.2%. You would reject the project because it is below your required return of 15%.

Discounted Cash Flows
by: Dee Reavis

The beauty of discounted cash flows is that it doesn't matter how long your investment takes. You would just keep the sign negative for each investment year. If you have positive cash flow in a year where you are making still making investment, then you would just use the net of the 2 numbers.

Example:

year investment revenue
0 100,000 0
1 150,000 0
2 100,000 50,000
3 0 75,000
4-15 0 90,000

The cash flow would then be:

year cash flow
0 -100,000
1 -150,000
2 - 50,000
3 75,000
4-15 90,000


You would only need to put the cash flow numbers into the Internal Rate of Return Calculator to get the IRR.

Using A Calculator To Find IRR
by: Dee Reavis

First you set up your math for finding the Net Present Value(NPV). Then you do the calculation with different discount rates or hurdle rates until NPV=0. When NPV=0 then IRR=discount rate.

The formula for IRR is this:

IRR=Discount Rate When NPV=0

The IRR is the discount rate of the NPV when the NPV is equal to 0.

How to Calculate IRR

by Sandip
(Ahmedabad)

I want a formula for calculating the value of IRR.

Answer

There is no direct formula for calculating IRR return. It is found using an iterative process using NPV. The closest thing to a formula is the following:
If NPV=0 then IRR=discount rate used to calculate the NPV. So we calculate NPV with different discount interest rates, zeroing in on NPV=0 to find the IRR.
