  1. Average Rate of Return A2 Business Studies

  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

  3. Starter Explain what the payback method calculates. Explain two benefits of the payback method. Explain two drawbacks of payback method.

  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.

  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

  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

  7. Step 2 Divide the average annual profit by the initial investment and show as percentage. ARR = (Average Annual Profit/Initial Investment) x 100

  8. Step 2 ARR = (£76,500/£750,000) x 100 = 10.2% The ARR for machine A is 10.2 %

  9. Machine B Calculate the ARR for machine B. Show all calculations and formulas in your working out. Make everything obvious to the examiner!

  10. Analysis and Evaluation of ARR Higher the ARR the more potentially profitable the investment. Analyse machine A’s and machine B’s ARR.

  11. Evaluation: Benefits & Drawbacks Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of ARR method. Consider: • Interest Rates and lending • ROCE • Cash Inflows • Comparisons

  12. Evaluation: Benefits Easy comparison with other forms of investment Can compare with interest rate Compared to current or target ROCE figure

  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 firm’s short term survival

  14. Plenary Define ARR Explain how to calculate ARR.
