Calculate average rate of return.

In this objective, Calculate average rate of return sits within Calculation requirements and Quantitative skills in business for AQA GCSE Business 8132. Use a business such as EcoWash serves price-sensitive customers while using retained profit; the case evidence includes break-even output of ?3,703, sales of 133 units, and a 28% change in costs or demand to keep the explanation applied. The important reasoning is to connect average rate of return with the business objective, the financial implication, and the effect on suppliers. Avoid treating gross and net profit as the same thing. A high-quality answer should explain the commercial trade-off, use precise evidence, and finish with a judgement that depends on the context rather than a generic definition.
