- Slide 1
- Average Rate of Return A2 Business Studies
- Slide 2
- Aims and Objectives Aim: To understand the investment appraisal technique: Average Rate of Return. Objectives: Define ARR Calculate ARR Analyse ARR results Evaluate ARR method
- Slide 3
- Starter Explain what the payback method calculates. Explain two benefits of the payback method. Explain two drawbacks of payback method.
- Slide 4
- ARR Definition Average Rate of Return assesses the merits of an investment by calculating the average annual profit as a percentage of the initial investment.
- Slide 5
- Step 1 Calculate the average annual profit by adding up all net cash flows divided by the number of years. Average annual profit = Total net cash flow / Number of Years
- Slide 6
- Step 1 Machine A = (750,000) + 142,500 + 192,500 + 252,500 + 252,500 + 292,500 = 382,500 Average Annual Profit = 382,500/5 = 76,500
- Slide 7
- Step 2 Divide the average annual profit by the initial investment and show as percentage. ARR = (Average Annual Profit/Initial Investment) x 100
- Slide 8
- Step 2 ARR = (76,500/750,000) x 100 = 10.2% The ARR for machine A is 10.2 %
- Slide 9
- Machine B Calculate the ARR for machine B. Show all calculations and formulas in your working out. Make everything obvious to the examiner!
- Slide 10
- Analysis and Evaluation of ARR Higher the ARR the more potentially profitable the investment. Analyse machine As and machine Bs ARR.
- Slide 11
- Evaluation: Benefits & Drawbacks Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of ARR method. Consider: Interest Rates and lending ROCE Cash Inflows Comparisons
- Slide 12
- Evaluation: Benefits Easy comparison with other forms of investment Can compare with interest rate Compared to current or target ROCE figure
- Slide 13
- Evaluation: Drawbacks Does not take into account specific timings of cash inflows. An investment may appear profitable, but if it takes four years before a positive net cash flow is achieved this might threaten the firms short term survival
- Slide 14
- Plenary Define ARR Explain how to calculate ARR.
