Sir, Can show me how to calculate question 1(b) section b mock exam? Undestand that IRR is try an error, but i couldn't get the same answer. YR 0 Cost (300,000) 1-5 inflow 90,000 5 Scrap value 20,000 Dis. factor 17% Year 1-5 is 3.199 Year 5 - 0.456 PV: (300,000) 287,910 9,120 ______ (2970) Dis. factor 16% for: Year 1-5 is 3.274 year 5 scarp value is 0.476 PV (300,000) 294,660 9520 ______ 4180 IRR = 16%+(4180/(4180+2970)*(17-16)% =16.58% But the answer is 21. Please correct me which part went wrong.

But the question does not ask you for the IRR !!!! It asks for the Accounting Rate of Return, which is the average profit per year after depreciation (34,000) as a % of the average investment (160,000).

sir, Is this ARR is included in F2 syllabus? I can't find this topic. Can you explain how to get 34,000 & 160,000?

The profit before depreciation = 90,000 per year The depreciation = (300,000 - 20,000)/5 = 56,000 per year. So the profit = 90,000 - 56,000 = 34,000 The average investment = (300,000 + 20,000) / 2 = 160,000
