1- Answer1 is correct ( The IRR is the rate that makes the present value of the expected cash inflows equal the present value of the expected cash outflows ).

2- Answer2 is wrong (It is not a time, it is the discounted rate that makes the present value of the expected cash inflows equal the present value of the expected cash outflows ).

3- Answer3 is wrong (It is not a percentage of the amount invested, it is the discounted rate that makes the present value of the expected cash inflows equal the present value of the expected cash outflows ).

4- Answer4 is wrong (It doesn't make any profit or loss since it makes the present value of the expected cash inflows equal the present value of the expected cash outflows ).
