How might the firm use IRR to make a decision about the possible investment? Internal Rate of Return is used to measure how the Firm will make profits or lose money in the project. Therefore, it makes it easier to determine the profitability and the higher the Internal Rate of Return the higher the profit comes into the company (business).
