    Dear sir,

    Would like to ask a question when calculate the ARR :

    Estimated average annual profit / average investment x 100%

    Why the average investment = the initial investment “Plus ” residual value & divided the amount by 2?

    Why not “deduct “the residual value & why divide by 2, not the whole project year (for example 5 years), thanks.

    Average = average of initial investment and ending investment.

    To take an extreme example, if you had $100 in the bank at the start of the year and $90 at the end, your average would be (100 + 90)/2 = 95, not (100 – 90)/2 = 5.
