Chapter 16, Problem 16.35P

To determine

Concept Introduction:

ARR: Accounting Rate of Return (ARR) is the rate of return earned on the investment made in a project. ARR is calculated by dividing the Average Accounting profits by Average Investment.

The formula to calculate ARR is as follows:

  $ARR=\frac{AverageAccountingprofits}{AverageInvestment}$

NPV: Net present value (NPV) is the method to evaluate the project feasibility. This method calculates the present value of cash inflows and outflows, and then calculates the net present value of the investment. A project should be accepted if it has a positive NPV. The formula to calculate the NPV is as follows:

  $NPV= Presentvalueofcashinflows–Presentvalueofcashoutflows$

Requirement-a:

To Calculate:

The Accounting rate of return for the first year and investment decision
