Calculate the annual rate of return on the project. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.) Annual rate of return 0 0

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%
