The following information provides the Net Present Values (NPV1, NPV2) of
the 'Falcon' project at two different discount rates (i1, i2).
i = 0.125
NPV, = 6,654.53 (£)
%3D
%3D
iz = 0.141
NPV, = –7,941.82 (£)
Using the above given information, calculate the Internal Rate of Return
(IRR) of the 'Falcon' project. Your answer should be accurate to three
decimal places.
NPV1
Internal Rate of Return = i, +
x (iz – i1)
(NPV1- NPV2)
Explain in your own words what your answer in part (a) above represents and
hence show clearly what you expect the value of the sum of discounted cash
