Answer:
the accounting rate of return for Project B is 74.29 % (2.dp)
Explanation:
Accounting Rate of Return = Average Profit/Average Investment × 100
Average Profit for Project B
Average Profit = Sum of Profit/Number of Years
= (36,000+27,000+23,000+20,000)/4
= 106,000 / 4
= 26,000
Average Investment for Project B
Average Investment = (Initial Investment + Scrap Value) / 2
= (54,000 +16,000) / 2
= 35,000
Accounting Rate of Return for Project B
Accounting Rate of Return = 26,000/35,000 × 100
= 74.29 % (2.dp)
