Expert Solution
Step 1

IRR is the annual rate of growth which a project is expected to generate. It is that rate of discount which makes the NPV of the project "zero". IRR is calculated using the same concept of NPV, the only difference being here we try to find the rate which will make the NPV "zero". The decision of accepting the project relies on the WACC(weighted average cost of capital) or (RRR)required rate of return of investor if the IRR is higher than the RRR then the project is expected to be profitable and it should be accepted.
