| praj24 | How do I work this out on my calculator (BAII Plus)? |
| jrojasut09 | @praj24 Use your CF functions and solve for IRR |
| msk500 | Set our a time-line from Year 0 (15/1/12), to Year 2 (15/1/2014). Record the CFs for each year and calculate the net CF for each year. These are: Year 0 = -86, Year 1 = -94, and Year 2 = +212. Key strokes: Press CF, 2ND, CE/C: CF0 = -86 Enter CF1 = -94 Enter CF2 = +212 Enter CPT IRR, CPT = 11.59538 |
