Solution

To calculate the Accounting Rate of Return (ARR), we first need to calculate the average annual profit and the average investment.

  1. Calculate the Depreciation: Depreciation = (Cost of Machinery - Salvage Value) / Useful Life Depreciation = (1,000,0001,000,000 - 200,000) / 4 = $200,000 per year

  2. Calculate the Average Annual Profit: Average Annual Profit = Annual Income - Depreciation Average Annual Profit = 40,00040,000 - 200,000 = -$160,000

  3. Calculate the Average Investment: Average Investment = (Cost of Machinery + Salvage Value) / 2 Average Investment = (1,000,000+1,000,000 + 200,000) / 2 = $600,000

  4. Calculate the Accounting Rate of Return (ARR): ARR = (Average Annual Profit / Average Investment) * 100% ARR = (-160,000/160,000 / 600,000) * 100% = -26.7%

The ARR is negative, which means the investment is not profitable. However, none of the options provided match this result. There might be a mistake in the problem's data or in the provided options.
