The accounting rate of return? Really? I'd be accounting for my time if I chose that option.

Haha, the accounting rate of return? What is this, an accounting exam? NPV is all about those juicy discount rates, baby!

Ah, I see what they're getting at. The accounting rate of return is a measure of profitability, not a rate used in NPV. Good catch!

I'm pretty sure the cost of capital, hurdle rate, and discount rate are all essential for NPV calculations. The accounting rate of return seems out of place here.

Hmm, the accounting rate of return is definitely not a rate used in NPV analysis. That's more of an accounting metric, not a financial one.
