Respuesta :

Answer:

d. 23.84%

Explanation:

Years   Cash-flow

0           -650,000

1             350,000

2            325,000

3            150,000

4            180,000

Using MS Excel IRR function

Internal rate of return = IRR(Cashflow year 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)

Internal rate of return = 23.84%

So, the internal rate of return of this project is 23.84%.
