The Accounting Rate of Return
The information provided by AICO plc is based on hypothetical cash flows. This information is insufficient for establishing the ARR of the two models; therefore it will be necessary to calculate the annual depreciation figures for the two machines. To arrive at the annual accounting profits will necessitate a deduction from each year?s net cash inflows ? the annual depreciation figure.
Super model
Depreciation per annum = Cost less scrap value
Life of machine
= ￡500,000 less 20,000
6
= ￡80,000 per annum
Deluxe model
Depreciation per annum = ￡800,000 less 80,000
6
= ￡120,000 per annum
Now that we have calculated the annual depreciation for each machine, let us establish the annual accounting profit or loss for each machine.
