What is the Accounting Rate of return of the project in question?

B 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 6% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

ARR = (Average Annual Profit)/ (Average Investment) Average Investment is (50000+10000)/2 = 30000 and Average Profits = (5000+2000+2000)/3 = 3000 Therefore, ARR = 10%          ·         Higher the ARR, better it is. ·         If the project’s ARR is equal or higher to the target ARR of the organisation, accept the project.
