Q
. Move to NET_PV and calculate by pressing
i
and
@
.
To obtain IRR:
Press

Solving for unequal cash flows
Your company pays $12,000 for a new network system, and
expects the following annual cash flows: $3,000 for the first year,
$5,000 for the second to fourth years, and $4,000 for the fifth
year. At what IRR does the net present value of the cash flows
equal zero?
–$12,000
$3,000 $5,000 $5,000 $5,000
$4,000
