A project has an initial cost of $54,000 and is expected to generate a single cash inflow of $81,000 in 6 years. What is its IRR? Round to the tenth of a percent (e.g. 5.6%=5.6).

You want to start an organic garlic farm. The farm costs $190,000, to be paid in full immediately. Year 1 cash flows will be $25,000, and grow at 5% a year into year 5 when you decide to sell the farm at the end of the year for $260,000 (in year 5 you get cash flows from selling both the garlic and the farm). Assuming these estimates are all correct, what is the IRR of the garlic farm investment? Round to the tenth of a percent (e.g. 5.6%=5.6). [Hint: You'll want to solve this in Excel using the IRR function or Goal Seek. Make sure the IRR cell is set to show decimals.]
