Internal Rate of Return

Formula
IRR = a% + [(P/P-(-N))*(b% - a %)]
Project C = 20% + [(68190.55/68190.55-(-9444.44))*(50
Project C = 20 % + [(68190.55/(68190.55+9444.44))*(3
Project C = 20 % + [.8783430*30%]
Project C = 20 % + 26.35029%
Project C = 46.350%

the above calculation clearly stated that only project c having ability to earn more than 20% return rest t
are getting the less than required rate of return i.e. 20% therefore their NPV is in negative vaules . In ca
negative NPV the project would not be considered in decision making. Only one project showing the po
NPV that should be selected but other things remain the same.
