Quizplus · Accepted Answer

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 investment of $1,000,000 divided by the annual cash inflow of $142,369 gives a factor of approximately 7.024, which corresponds to a 7% rate in the present value of annuity table.
