Question

Question 59 of 83 Project M requires an initial investment of $25 million. The project is expected to generate $2.25 million in after-tax cash flow each year forever. Calculate the IRR for the project. 10% 9% 8% 7%

Answer 1

9%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) for a project that yields cash flows perpetually, we need to divide the yearly cash flow by the project's initial outlay:

IRR = $2,250,000 / $25,000,000 = 0.09 = 9%

The IRR represents the discount rate at which the project's net present value (NPV) equals 0.
