An investment requires an initial disbursement of €2,500,000 and the duration of the project is 3 years, in the first of which it generates a cash flow of €1,500,000, in the second € 3,700,000 and the third €4,100,000. Calculate the Net Present Value of the investment, knowing that inflation is 3% cumulative annually and that the required profitability in the absence of inflation is 8%. Calculate the actual internal rate of return of the previous investment.
