Calculating IRR
How to Find IRR on TI 83
The internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of a series of cash flows equal to zero. In other words, it is the rate of return that an investment is expected to generate. The IRR can be calculated using the TI 83 calculator.
Steps to Calculate IRR on TI 83
1. Enter the initial outlay or investment amount as a negative value.
2. Enter the cash flows for each period, including the initial outlay, as positive values.
3. Use the IRR function on the TI 83 calculator to calculate the IRR.
Example
Suppose you have an investment with an initial outlay of -$1000 and the following cash flows:
* Year 1: $300
* Year 2: $400
* Year 3: $500
To find the IRR, follow these steps:
1. Enter the values into the calculator:
“`
-1000, 300, 400, 500
“`
2. Use the IRR function:
“`
IRR(-1000, {300, 400, 500})
“`
3. Press Enter to calculate the IRR.
The calculator will display the IRR as a percentage, which represents the rate at which the present value of the cash flows equals the initial outlay.

FAQs
What is the IRR?
The IRR (internal rate of return) is the discount rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of a series of cash flows equal to zero. In other words, it is the rate of return that an investment is expected to generate.
How do I calculate IRR on TI 83?
To calculate IRR on TI 83, follow these steps:
* Enter the initial outlay or investment amount as a negative value.
* Enter the cash flows for each period, including the initial outlay, as positive values.
* Use the IRR function on the TI 83 calculator to calculate the IRR.
What is the IRR formula?
The IRR formula is:
“`
IRR(Initial Outlay, {Cash Flows}, {Cash Flow Counts})
“`
What is the IRR function on TI 83?
The IRR function on TI 83 is a built-in function that calculates the IRR of a series of cash flows. It is located in the Finance menu of the calculator.
How do I enter the cash flows into the TI 83 calculator?
To enter the cash flows into the TI 83 calculator, use the following steps:
* Press the 2nd key and then the Finance key to access the Finance menu.
* Select the IRR function (option 8).
* Enter the initial outlay or investment amount as a negative value.
* Enter the cash flows for each period, including the initial outlay, as positive values.
* Press the Enter key to calculate the IRR.
What is the difference between IRR and NPV?
IRR and NPV are two different methods for evaluating the profitability of an investment. IRR is the discount rate that makes the NPV of a series of cash flows equal to zero. NPV is the sum of the present values of all the cash flows from an investment, discounted at a given rate.
Which is better, IRR or NPV?
IRR and NPV are both useful methods for evaluating the profitability of an investment, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. IRR is a more intuitive measure of profitability, but it can be difficult to calculate and it can sometimes give misleading results. NPV is a more robust measure of profitability, but it can be more difficult to interpret.
What are some limitations of IRR?
Some limitations of IRR include:
* IRR can be difficult to calculate, especially for complex cash flow streams.
* IRR can give misleading results if there are multiple IRRs or if the cash flows are not evenly distributed over time.
* IRR does not take into account the time value of money.
