Suppose you invest today and receive in five years. a. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this opportunity? b. Suppose another investment opportunity also requires upfront, but pays an equal amount at the end of each year for the next five years. If this investment has the same IRR as the first one, what is the amount you will receive each year? a. What is the internal rate of return (IRR) of this opportunity? The IRR of this opportunity is 30.60%. (Round to two decimal places.) b. Suppose another investment opportunity also requires upfront, but pays an equal amount at the end of each year for the next five years. If this investment has the same IRR as the first one, what is the amount you will receive each year? The periodic payment that gives the same IRR is $ nothing. (Round to the nearest cent.)

the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:

a) I will use the future value formula to determine the internal rate of return:

future value = present value x (1 + r)ⁿ

10,250 = 3,000 x (1 + r)⁵

(1 + r)⁵ = 10,250 / 3,000 = 3.4166667

⁵√(1 + r)⁵ = ⁵√3.4166667

1 + r = 1.27855826

r = 0.27855826 = 27.86%

b) assuming a $3,000, 27.86%, 5 year annuity, the annual payment will be:

annual payment = principal / FV annuity factor, 27.86%, 5 periods

annual payment = $10,250 / 8.67633 = $1,181.38

the first successful, urban blues recording, selling more than 75,000 copies, was made in year 1920.

mamie smith recorded the first commercially successful example of the urban blues,   with the recording of “crazy blues”."crazy blues" was recorded on august 10, 1920, in new york city. within a month of the release of “crazy blues” it had sold 75,000 copies.
