Lorelei Perkins · Answer 1

A) 12%

Explanation:

You can solve this question using a financial calculator. I am using (Texas Instruments BA II plus)

Note: use the "CF" button

CF0 = - 91,110

From here onwards, press down arrow twice before keying in the next cashflow;

C01 = 30,000

C02 = 30,000

C03 = 30,000

C04 = 30,000

Press IRR, CPT = 12.005%

Therefore, IRR = 12%
