Answer #1

Answer: $294,501.375

Explanation:

The internal rate of return is the rate of return at which the net present value of the project is zero.

Net present value = -Investment required + (Net annual cash inflow × Present value factor of an annuity for 8 years at 17%)

$0 = -Investment required + ($70,000 × 4.20716)

Investment required = $70,000 × 4.20716 = $294,501.375
