    Yes we can Calculate IRR from basic Calculator. There is no need to take financial calculator. If you want to take financial calculator there is prescribed list of financial calculator which are allowed in exams.

    I used basic calculator for both exam parts and it's enough for all calculations.

    Very good question. Consider the below equation.




    As you can see to expand the denominator and to isolate the IRR is not possible with traditional calculation methods. Expanding the terms on paper will take super long extra time. So the financial calculator makes it quick and gives you the IRR within few seconds.

    Hi,

    Financial calculator is not allowed in exam, you can only carry a basic function calculator only. This is sufficient for all calculations in exam.
