I We could. of mu:sc.calculate the avenge of the six book values directly. In thousands. we would have (SRO + 400 + 300 + 2CA « ICO + 0)/6 = 5250.                                                        
2 The AAR is closely related to the arum on assets. or ROA, discussed in Chapter 3. In practice, the AAR is sometimes computed by first calcialuitag the ROA for each year read then averaging Use results. This produces a number that is similar, but not identical, to the one we competed.
