Question

"Addison Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The equipment will have an initial cost of $522,000, a 3 year life, and no salvage value. If the accounting rate of return for the project is 6%, what is the annual increase in net cash flow

Answer 1

$31,320.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for accounting rate of return is the annual net cash flow divided by the initial investment.

If the initial investment was $522,000 and the accounting rate of return is computed to be 6% per year, hence the annual increase in cash flow accruing from the investment can be calculated by changing the subject of the formula.

ARR=annual increase in cash flow/initial investment

ARR is 6%

initial investment is $522,000

annual increase in cash flow?

6%=annual increase in cash flow/$522,000

annual increase in cash flow=6%*$522,000= $31,320.00
