Question
Pierre’s Hair Salon is considering opening a new location in French Lick, California. The cost of building a new salon is $306,200. A new salon will normally generate annual revenues of $63,760, with annual expenses (including depreciation) of $40,900. At the end of 15 years the salon will have a salvage value of $74,800.
Calculate the annual rate of return on the project.
Explanation / Answer
Answer
$63,760 - 40,900 = 22,860
The formula of the average investment: (Investment + Salvage Value) /2
($306,200 + 74,800) / 2 = $190,500
Income / average investment = annual rate of return
Annual rate of return is
22,560/190,500 = 12%
