Could you please explain how to calculate accounting rate of return for the following question.
initial cost = $300,000
expected life = 5 years
estimated scrap value = $20,000
additional revenue from the project per year = $120,000
incremental cost of the project = $30,000 per year
cost of capital = 10%

Accounting rate of interest
7y ago#1The profit per year is 120,000 - 30,000 = 90,000, less depreciation of (300,000 - 20,000) / 5 = 56,000 per year. So the profit is 34,000 per year.
The average investment is (300,000 + 20,000) / 2 = 160,000
The ARR is the profit as a % or the average investment.
