Calculates the internal rate of return for a series of cash flows
Introduced in release: 1.0 Component: Business Calculator Purpose:
This routine calculates the internal rate of return for a series of grouped cash flows.
Special Considerations:
When there is more than one sign change in a series of cash flows, there is the potential for more than one internal rate of return. This routine will return only the first one it finds.
Notes:
This is a business calculator/spreadsheet type of function and should not be confused with the cash flow routines in the library specifically for fixed income securities.
Results:
The function returns the calculated internal rate of return accurate to as many places as supported by a double precision value.
Error Conditions:
Returned values should be ignored for a non-zero status. See Errors.
