Regarding explanation of step 1 :-
Suppose Purchase of machine Rs 200000 and working capital Rs 20000. So cash outflow will be Rs 220000.
Now if CFAT are :- Y1= 50000 ; Y2= 20000 '; Y3= 100000; Y4= 50000
So Avg. Annual CFAT = { 50000 + 20000 + 100000 + 50000} / 4 = Rs 55000.
Hence, Fake payback factor = Rs 220000 / Rs 55000 = 4
Now see PVAF table , assume project life is 8 yrs. In 8 yrs row see where you get 4 and it fall between which two discount rates . According to table it falls between 18% and 19%
Now compute NPV as per above steps for these two rates 18% & 19%
If both + NPV check 20 % and so on until you get -ve NPV
If both - ve NPV check 17% and so on until you get + ve NPV.
The rate at which you get one -ve NPV and +ve NPV will be taken as higher rate and lower rate in the formula for calculating IRR.
