    In BPP’s book it’s given

    ROCE (ARR) = total profit/Initial Investment

    But in Kaplan’s book it’s given

    ROCE (ARR) = Avg. annual PBIT/Initial Investment

    Which one is correct?

    • ☆☆☆☆

    ROCE and ARR are not the same thing.

    ARR is generally used for individual projects, while ROCE is used for the business as a whole. ARR can be calculated as one figure for multi-year projects, while ROCE is usually only calculated for discrete financial years.

    ARR = average annual PBIT/average investment
    ROCE = PBIT/average capital (equity + long term debt)
