Consider the following cash flows: Year Cash Flow 0 –$ 33,000 1 13,400 2 18,300 3 10,800 What is the IRR of the cash flows? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

Cash flow in year 1 = 13,400

Cash flow in year 2 = 18,300

Cash flow in year 3 = 10,800

IRR = 14.23%
