    Hi
    The internal rate of return of project B of question 5 states that 7% deriving through equation of value ( in Examiners report of 2012 April). I got different answer. Could any one help me please!
    Thanks!

    The euation of value for project B is given as

    1000 = 85 level annuity factor for 20 years payable quaterly in advance plus discounted for 20 years multiplied by 90 level annuiity for 5 years payable quarterly in advance.

    That gives the IRR is 7%.

    note: sorry for writing in words.

    Hold on - had a look at the examiners report (instead of our ASET solutions) and see the issue. The 7% is not the solution it's their first guess based on them saying it's roughly 85 for 25 years paid annually.

    Thanks Lee
    I got the answer. Summing up total payment as single and also using average payment period.
    Grateful to you!
