    The internal rate of return for the project is 12.4%.

    Explanation:

    The internal rate of return (IRR) of a project is the discount rate that brings the net present value of all project cash flows to 0 (zero).

    We have the project cash flows summarized as followed:

    Y0 = Net initial investment of - $100,000;

    Y1 - Y5: equal annual net cash inflows of $28,000 each year.

    Thus, we have the formula for finding IRR as followed:

    -100,000 + (28,000/IRR) / [ 1 - (1+IRR) ^ (-5) ] = 0;

    Solve the equation, we have IRR = 12.4%.
