The inflation rate between years 1 and 2 is 2.13%

What is CPI?

CPI means consumer price index, the consumer price index measures the change in prices of a basket of  goods and services from one period to another, like the change in prices or inflation rate  from one year to another year.

The inflation rate can be expressed in the current year CPI divided by the prior year CPI as shown by the CPI formula shown below:

inflation rate=(CPI year 2/CPI year 1)-1

CPI year 2=245.1

CPI year 1=240

inflation rate=(245.1/240)-1

inflation rate=2.13%

The implication of the above computation is that the inflation rate between year 1 and year 2 is approximately 2.13% when  rounded to 2 decimal places.

In other words, the prices of goods and services has increase by 2.13% on the average between the two years

The average rate of return method includes the entire amount of the income earned over the life of the proposal.

a. rate of return on investments

b. may be reconsidered if funds later become available.

Explanation:

Cash payback period measures how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from the cumulative cash flow.

Amount invested = $-1,000,000

Amount recovered in year 1 = $-1,000,000 + $400,000 = $-600,000

Amount recovered in year 2 = $-600,000 + 320,00 = $-280,000

Amount recovered in year 3 = $-280,000 + 280,000 = 0

The amount invested is recovered In the 3 year

Average accounting rate = average net income/ average book value

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested. The interest rate used is the rate of return on investments.

The hurdle rate is the least acceptable rate that a project can have for it to be acceptable.
