Hi,
I think that to be more specific, here is the formula:

ARR=((revenue-cost)/average capital employed)*100
In your case:
Your revenues are (Project 1: 150k+200k+300k+450k50k =1,150K - Project 2: 400k+240k+140k+40k+40k = 860k)
The average capital employed is the half of capital outlay in this case Project 1 and 2: 1,000,000/2 =500,000
Project 1 Project2
Your ARR= ((1,150,000-1,000,000)/500,000)*100= 30% ----- ARR= ((860,000-1,000,000)/500000)*100 = -28%

Read this first: Expectations for the Homework Help board
Do not simply retype or paste a question from your book or study material

We won't do your homework questions for you.
You were given the assignment for you to learn.

If you come up with your own answer and post it for us to critique that is within reason.

If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that.
But this is your assignment, so show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.

Thank you.
