The internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of the cash flows equal to zero. The present value factor for 10 years at 7% is 7.024, which when multiplied by the annual cash inflow of $142,369, approximately equals the initial investment of $1,000,000.
