Company DDD is evaluating a project with an initial investment of $500,000. The project is expected to generate cash flows of $150,000 per year for 6 years. Calculate the project's internal rate of return (IRR) and discuss its interpretation in investment analysis. Explain the internal rate of return (IRR) as a capital budgeting technique used to evaluate the profitability of an investment project, indicating the discount rate at which the net present value (NPV) of the project equals zero. Discuss the significance of IRR in investment decision-making, project feasibility, and its implications for assessing risk and return.
