Such a mistake is essentially equivalent to a missed calculator punch, which, as noted already in this discussion, will cost you .25 point. Any of 208050, 208k or 208.1k should have been acceptable.

Great, thank you for your prompt response! I appreciate you clearing this up.

Simple question (I think)! If we have the following equation for which we needed the IRR, could we just use our trusty BA II+ and write the answer below and receive full credit?

Equation: -100 - 26v + 124v^2 + 31v^3 = 0

Below this equation, I would write the following on my answer sheet:

"Using the BAII+ Cash Flow Function
CF0 = (-100)
CF1 = (-26)
CF2 = 124
CF3 = 31
[IRR] [CPT] ==> IRR = 10.948%"

Is this too much, too little, just right?

That's way too much. Just the formula and the solution are fine. maybe write "using ba2+ IRR function," but I'd even leave that out, personally.

I would just write "using calculator, v = "

And you would all get it wrong.

Spoiler:

IRR is an interest rate not a discount rate. You need to use Exam 2 methods to turn i into v.

Not if you use a calculator. Put in the cash flows, it gives you IRR, not V.
