How to find IRR manualy?

there are 3 steps to find IRR(UNEVEN CASH FLOW)

1 step. You have to find the annuity in FCF

since the FCF is Uneven cash flow, so you have to find the assumed annuity

The assumed annuity as follows

1000

17000

3000

no ofyears

6000

7000

17,000

4250

Assumed annuity

17000

4



2 step. using annuity table to find the range of interpolation

a. Intially outlay devided by assumed annuity

intial outlay = 10,010

assumed annuity = 4250

thus,

10,010

2.36%

using this percent to find the range of interpolation in the annuity table

4250

b. present value of an annuity table (extracts)

now you have to find the value that close with 2.36%

1. take a look at n first, n=4


2. take a look at the percent




3 step. after u've found the range of interpolation, the next step as follows

a. your ranges of interpolation are 19% and 20%

b. the FCF have to dicounted back to the present using present value of interest factor

c. using the present value interest factor to find the Discounted value of FCF (UNVEN CASHFLOW)

d. therefore, 19%= 10,009, 20%=9763

last but not least, using the interpolation formula to find the IRR

numerator=

19%(a)-

Iniatial outlay

Denominator=

19%(a)-

20%(b)

19% = 10,009

20%=9763

Initial outlay = 10,010

Hence,

10,009-

10010=
