d.12.5%
e.2.5%

Respuesta :

Answer:

e.2.5%

Explanation:

Accounting rate of return; ARR = [Average net cashflows/ initial investment] *100

Average net cashflows = $25,000 - depreciation per year

depreciation = (initial cost - salvage) useful life = ($200,000-0)/10 = $20,000

Therefore, Average net cashflows = $25,000 - $20,000 = $5,000

Initial investment = $200,000

ARR = (5,000 / 200,000) *100

ARR = 0.025 *100

ARR  =2.5%
