The project should be accepted.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The project has an initial investment of $187,000. Annual cash flows are expected to be $52,000 for five years.

IRR = 11%

NPV = - Io + ∑[Cf / (1+i) ^n]

Cf = cash flow

For example:

Year 3 = 52,000/1.11^3 = 38,021.95

NPV = 5,186.65

The project should be accepted.
