Unfortunately, this plot crosses the X axis at 3 places! So, it has multiple possible rates of return. These can be seen in the graph, though the exact values show up in the link. The zeroes are approximately: x= (-1.49, 0.24, 1.12). The CEO wants to understand what each of these numbers mean. He knows that since x is (1+r) if he were to invest $1 and get an interest rate of 'x', his money after a single period would change by x. So, for the first rate, i.e. -1.49, this means his $1 of money (assets), would become $1.49 of debt. Similarly, if he waits another period, it will turn into $2.22 of assets since FV-2=1.49(1+i)2. Notice on the even years our negative rate becomes posi- tive. The CEO knows this is impossible, otherwise he could get rid of all his company's debt by investing it here for 1 period. Real interest rates either shrink or grow the investment, they cannot negate it, i.e. O 1 a. Which of the 4 IRRs above are real and why?
