    Hi Sir, please help me to answer the question below.

    Initial cost $300,000
    expected life 5 years
    estimated scrap value $20,000
    addition revenue
    from project per year $120,000
    incremental costs $30,000/year
    cost of capital 10%

    A.What is the Net Present Value?
    B. Accounting Rate of Return?

    I just don’t understand how to calculate the npv while there are no cashflow provided in question.

    Of course there are cash flows provided!

    There is an outflow at time 0 – the cost of 300,000

    There is a net inflow of 120,000 – 30,000 = 90,000 per year from years 1 to 5

    There is an inflow at time 5 of the scrap value of 20,000

    There flows are discounted at 10% using the annuity factor for the annual net inflow, and the normal discount factor at 10% for the scrap proceeds.

    Have you watched our free lectures? They are a complete course for paper F2 and cover everything you need to be able to pass the exam well.

    The average profit per year = 90,000 less depreciation of (300,000 – 20,000) / 5 per year

    The average investment is (300,000 + 20,000) / 2

    The ARR = average profit p.a. as a % of the average investment.
