Slide1

Average Rate of Return

A2 Business StudiesSlide2

Aims and Objectives

Aim:

To understand the investment appraisal technique: Average Rate of Return.

Objectives:

Define ARR

Calculate ARR

Analyse ARR results

Evaluate ARR methodSlide3

Starter

Explain what the payback method calculates.

Explain two benefits of the payback method.

Explain two drawbacks of payback method.Slide4

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.Slide5

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 YearsSlide6

Step 1

Machine A =

(£750,000) + £142,500 + £192,500 + £252,500 + £252,500 + £292,500 = £382,500

Average Annual Profit =

£382,500/5 = £76,500Slide7

Step 2

Divide the average annual profit by the initial investment and show as percentage.

ARR = (Average Annual Profit/Initial Investment) x 100Slide8

Step 2

ARR = (£76,500/£750,000) x 100 = 10.2%

The ARR for machine A is 10.2 %Slide9

Machine B

Calculate the ARR for machine B.

Show all calculations and formulas in your working out.

Make everything obvious to the examiner!Slide10

Analysis and Evaluation of ARR

Higher the ARR the more potentially profitable the investment.

Analyse machine A’s and machine B’s ARR.Slide11

Evaluation: Benefits & Drawbacks

Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of ARR method.

Consider:

Interest Rates and lending

ROCE

Cash Inflows

ComparisonsSlide12

Evaluation: Benefits

Easy comparison with other forms of investment

Can compare with interest rate

Compared to current or target ROCE figureSlide13

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 firm’s short term survivalSlide14

Plenary
