B. Accounting Rate of Return? I just don't understand how to calculate the npv while there are no cashflow provided in question.

Of course there are cash flows provided! There is an outflow at time 0 - the cost of 300,000 There is a net inflow of 120,000 - 30,000 = 90,000 per year from years 1 to 5 There is an inflow at time 5 of the scrap value of 20,000 There flows are discounted at 10% using the annuity factor for the annual net inflow, and the normal discount factor at 10% for the scrap proceeds.

Have you watched our free lectures? They are a complete course for paper F2 and cover everything you need to be able to pass the exam well. The average profit per year = 90,000 less depreciation of (300,000 - 20,000) / 5 per year The average investment is (300,000 + 20,000) / 2 The ARR = average profit p.a. as a % of the average investment.
