The expected average rate of return for a proposed investment of $6,850,000 in a fixed asset, using straight-line depreciation, a useful life of 20 years, no residual value, and an expected total income of $13,700,000 over the 20 years, is (round to two decimal places)
a.20.00%
b.10.00%
c.1.00%
d.40.00%
Ans:
Average rate of Return = Average Income Per Year / Average Investment
Average Income Per Year = $13,700,000 / 20 = $685,000
Average Investment = (Asset Value + Salvage Value) / 2 = ($6,850,000 + $0) / 2 = $3,425,000
Average rate of Return = $685,000 / $3,425,000 = 20%
So correct answer is Option B.
*Please note that some firm also calculate Average rate of return based on initial investment, in such case ARR will be 10%.
