Answer:

-39.3%

Explanation:

Calculation for the IRR of his retainer offer

First step is to find Opportunity Cost

Opportunity Cost= 8 hours × $250 per hour

Opportunity Cost = $2,000

Since we have known the monthly Opportunity Cost the second step will be to compute IRR

Present Value= $30,000

N = 12

PMT = -2,000

FV = 0

Now let compute the IRR

IRR= -3.276502% × 12

IRR= -39.3180% Approximately - 39.3%

Therefore the IRR of his retainer offer is closest to: - 39.3%
