A company is evaluating a project with an initial investment of $100,000 and expected annual cash inflows of $30,000 for 5 years. The net present value (NPV) of the project is calculated at two discount rates: At a 10% discount rate, NPV = $13,723. At a 15% discount rate, NPV = $565. What is the approximate Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for this project?

A company is evaluating the purchase of Machine A for $400,000 with a useful life of 4 years and no salvage value. The machine is expected to generate an annual net operating income of $60,000 after depreciation expenses. The company uses straight-line depreciation, and the required rate of return is 10%. Ignore taxes for all calculations. Assume all cash flows occur at the end of each year, except the initial investment, which occurs at time zero. Use the following present value factors for NPV calculations (10% discount rate): What is the Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) based on average annual accounting profit and average investment?
