Answer:
6.83%
Explanation:
The computation of the accounting rate of return is shown below:
As we know that
Average accounting rate of return = Average annual operating income ÷ Initial Investment
where,
Average annual operating income is
Year 1 net cash inflow $320,000
Year 2 net cash inflow $280,000
Years 3-10 ($230,000 × 8) $1,840,000
Total net cash flows $2,440,000
Less: Total depreciation ($1,450,000)
$990,000
Divided it by years of life ÷ 10 years
Average annual operating income $99,000
So,
Average accounting rate of return is
= $99,000 ÷ $1,450,000
= 6.83%
