Explanation / Answer

Accounting Rate of Return is also referred to as the 'Average rate of return'. It refers to the financial ratio computed without taking into account the time value of money. ARR computes the return generated from the capital investmented. Simply stated, ARR @ 10% means that the invested capital is expected to earn 10 points per unit of currency invested.

It is computed as; ARR = Average return during the period (divided by) Average investment

Depreciation (SLM) (140000-10000)/10 13000 Value of investment Year 1 140000 Year 10 (13000 x 10 years) 10000 Average (140000+10000)/2 75000 ARR 3400/75000          4.53%
