Assume that these assets have a seven-year life, and that Research In Motion requires a 12%
internal rate of return on these assets.
Required 1. What is the amount of annual cash flows that Research In Motion must earn from
these projects to have a 12% internal rate of return? (Hint: Identify the seven-period, 12% factor
from the present value of an annuity table, and then divide $834 million by this factor to get the
annual cash flows necessary.) please answer correctly and go step by step if possible!

Solution
Hi,
Please find the answer as follows:
At IRR, NPV = 0. Therefore, the value of initial investment should be equal to the sum of cash
inflows earned over the life of the project.
To calculate the Annual Cash Flow, we can use the following equation.
