Work out the net cash flow
3 + 5.7 + 6.5 + 7.4 - 1.5 - 2.0 - 2.2 - 3.9 = 13
Then minus the investment cost
13 - 8 = 5
Then, to find average cash flow, divide by the number of years
5/4 = 1.25
Then divide by the cost of investment and times by 100 to get the percentage
1.25/8 x 100 = 15.625%
3 + 5.7 + 6.5 + 7.4 - 1.5 - 2.0 - 2.2 - 3.9 = 13

The formula is average profit/investment x 100.
So you take inflow (money in) minus outflow (money out) = profit.
Add up the profit for each year, take off the initial investment, divide by the number of years = average profit.
Average profit divided by investment x 100 = ARR as a percentage.
Also,when I was doing BUSS3, we always got told to have a 'Year 0' with the initial investment, just to make sure that in the exam we didn't forget to take it off

For me I don't know what to include in my ARR, we have several investments being made and they are under patent, land, building, machinery+equipment and working capital. Does anyone know if I'm supposed to include all of them? And do you take off the depreciation off the average operating profit figure? I don't know where to go with this work; and also everyone I talk to has different answers! This is university level cw btw but the same theory really
