Attn: Mr Faiz Ahmed
I am not an expert still lay down
ARR = PAT/ Average Initial Investment
This initial Investment may consist of outflow for Fixed Assets and Working Capital also since working capital is needed in the begining for the project to generate returns.
Initial Working Capital=Initial Investment
In between Flows=changes in working capital
In terminal Flow we have recapture of working capital
