Community Health Center (CHC) is considering spending $50,000 on a blood analyzer. The annual cash profits from the machine will be $7,000 for each of the 7 years of its useful life. The board of directors wants to pursue this investment, because they think the $49,000 CHC will receive is close to the $50,000 cost. What is wrong with the board's logic? What is the IRR on the investment?

Is this the correct calculation for IRR?

=IRR{(-50000, 7000,7000,7000,7000,7000,7000,7000})= -1%
