Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

a. the net present value is

Year   cash flow        factor at 10%     Discounted cash flows

0         -$56,000         1                         $56,000

1           $23,000         0.9091               $20,909.09

2         $23,000          0.8264              $19,008.26

3         $25,000         0.7513                 $18,782.87

4         $28,000         0.6830               $19,124.38

5        $16,000          0.6209               $9,934

Net present value                               $31,759.34

b. The internal rate of return is

Here we apply the formula

= IRR()

After this, the irr is 30.75%
