Respuesta :

Answer :

Accounting rate of return = 0.0432 = 4.32%

Explanation :

As per the data given in the question,

Depreciation per year = (Cost - Salvage) ÷ Useful life

= ($810,000 - $10,000) ÷ 8 years

= $100,000

Annual Net income = Annual net cash flow - Depreciation

= $135,000 - $100,000

= $35,000

Accounting rate of return = Annual net income ÷ investment

= $35,000 ÷ $810,000

= 0.0432

= 4.32%
