    For the NPV, the difference is rounding – your answer is OK and rounding is not a problem in the real exam.

    For IRR, the question does not ask for the IRR – it asks for the accounting rate of return.

    The average profit is (120,000 – 30,000) – depreciation of (300,000 – 20,000)/5 per year = 34,000.
    The average investment = (300,000 + 20,000) / 2 = 160,000.

    So the ARR = 34,000/160,000 = 21.25%
