Able co ltd is considering a new project for which the following information is available Initial cost :$300000 Expected life 5 years Estimated scrap value $20000 Additional revenue from the project : $120000 per year Incremental costs of the project $30000 per year Cost of capital 10%
The average annual profit before depreciation = 120,000 – 30,000 = 90,000 The depreciation per year = (300,000 – 20,000)/5 = 56,000 Therefore average profit after depreciation = 90,000 – 56,000 = 34,000
Average investment = (300,000 + 20,000) / 2 = 160,000
ARR = 34,000/160,000 = 21.25%
