profit after depreciation and tax is $120,000 and the initial capital invested is $200,000.<\/p>\n<p>To solve this problem is quite simple since all the parameters is given.<br \/>\nA = $120,000<br \/>\nC = $200,000<\/p>\n<p>ARR = (120000 \/ 200000) x 100%<br \/>\nARR = (0.6) x 100%<br \/>\nTherefore, ARR = 60%<\/p>\n<p>Then, the accounting rate of return for the example is

capital investment. If you are one of those accountants, do not worry we have got you covered, assured and protected.<\/p>\n<p>There are 4 most required parameters when computing the internal rate of return and these parameters are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Initial Rate of Capital<\/li>\n<li>Final Rate of Capital<\/li>\n<li>Initial Net Present Value<\/li>\n<li>Final Net Present Value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For Example: What is the internal rate of return where the initial rate of capital is 10, final rate of capital is 20, initial net present value is $3,000 and final net present value is $5,000.<\/p>\n<p>The formula for computing the internal rate of return is:<\/p>\n<p>IRR = (R<sub>2<\/sub> &#8211;
