Solution

To calculate the Accounting Rate of Return (ARR), we need to follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the average annual income: This is given as $69,916.

  2. Calculate the average investment: This is the initial cost of the machine plus the salvage value, divided by 2. So, (556,000+556,000 + 60,000) / 2 = $308,000.

  3. Finally, divide the average annual income by the average investment and multiply by 100 to get the ARR as a percentage. So, (69,916/69,916 / 308,000) * 100 = 22.7%.

So, the Accounting Rate of Return for the investment is 22.7%.
