The IRR for machine Black is already correctly calculated to be 16,06% (interpolated 5. between 16% and 18%). REQUIRED: a) Calculate the IRR (internal rate of return) of machine Grey. Show detailed cash flow and taxation calculations to arrive at the net cash flows after tax for all the years. Also show detailed calculations for the NPV (net present value) that you need for the interpolation calculation. Show your interpolation calculation by interpolating between and 18% and 22% to obtain the IRR for machine Grey. (18) b) Advise whether machine Black or Grey should be acquired. Motivate your decision based on your calculations and the IRR's obtained.
