What was the determining factor in this decision?
a)The discount rate was under 15%.
b)The cash payback period was shorter than the expected life.

Q 12.44
ARR = AVERAGE NET INCOME/AVERAGE INVESTMENT
A. 18.28%
AVERAGE NET INCOME = CASH INFLOWS - CASH OUTFLOWS(INCLUDING DEPRECIATION)
= 120,000 - 86,000
= 34,000
AVERAGE INVESTMENT = (COST + RESIDUAL VALUE)/2
= (360,000 + 12,000)/2
= 186,000
ARR = 34,000/ 186,000
= 18.28%
Q12.43
B.$168,000
DEPRECIATION = COST- SCRAP VALUE/USEFUL LIFE OF ASSET
$47,040 = ($309,120 - SCRAP VALUE)/6 YEARS
RESIDUAL VALUE = $309,120 - ($47,040*6)
= $26,880
ARR = NET INCOME / AVERAGE INVESTMENT
AVERAGE INVESTMENT = $309,120 + 26,880/2
= $168,000
Q12.44

AS PER NPV METHOD PROPOSAL ONLY CAN BE ACCEPTED WHEN NET PRESENT VALUE OF INVESTMENT WILL BE POSITIVE.
