Answer:

The internal rate of return for the cash flows of Project A is near about .10 and Project B is near about .18.

Explanation:

Computing the internal rate of return (IRR) for the cash flows.

IRR= \frac{cash\ flows}{(1+r)^{t} } -intital\ investment= 0

Cash flows= Cash flows in the time period.

r= Discount rate.

t= Time period.

Project A:

Lets assume a minimum rate of return at which net present value of all cash flow from project equal zero. we will start with IRR= .10.

=\frac{\$ 4400}{(1+.10)^{1} } + \frac{\$ 5200}{(1+.10)^{2} } + \frac{\$ 4000}{(1+.10)^{3} }- \$ 11300

= \$ 4000+\$ 4297+\$ 3005-\$ 11300

IRR at .10 is giving return which is very close to getting net present value (NPV) is equal to zero.

Project B.

As initial investment is less in project B, so lets take IRR as .15 first to check if it is giving NPV equal to zero.

= \frac{\$ 2400}{(1+.15)^{1} } + \frac{\$ 6500}{(1+.15)^{2} } + \frac{\$ 3600}{(1+.15)^{3} }- \$ 8900

= (\$ 2086+\$ 4914.93+\$ 2367)-\$ 8900

Opening parenthesis.

= \$ 9367.93-\$ 8900=\$ 467.93

Here we are getting higher NPV, therefore we will check another IRR. Lets take .18.

= \frac{\$ 2400}{(1+.18)^{1} } + \frac{\$ 6500}{(1+.18)^{2} } + \frac{\$ 3600}{(1+.18)^{3} }- \$ 8900

= (\$ 2033.89+\$ 4668+\$ 2191)-\$ 8900

Opening parenthesis.

= \$ 8892.96-\$ 8900=\$ 7.04

IRR at .18 for project B is giving return which is very close to getting net present value (NPV) is equal to zero.

∴ The internal rate of return for the cash flows of Project A is near about .10 and Project B is near about .18
