A startup Internet company has generated the following cash balance for the first six years of its IS projects: -$250,000, -$180,000, $225,000, $340,000, $410,000, and $425,000. Using the NPV function in Excel, calculate the net present value of this project at an 8.5 percent interest rate. What is the IRR of this project? If a bank is willing to give the company a loan at 15 percent to implement these projects, should the company accept the loan (assuming there are no other conditions)? Why or why not?

PLEASE PROVIDE FORMULAS SO THAT I MAY LEARN HOW TO DO THIS.

Thanks
