Answer:
16%
Explanation:
Given: Cost of building new salon is $280000.
Annual revenue is $67320.
Annual expenses is $38600.
salvage value is $79000.
First, lets calculate Annual income.
Annual income= [tex]Revenue-expense[/tex]
Annual income= [tex]67320-38600= \$ 28720[/tex]
Now, calculating the average investment.
Average investment= [tex]\frac{(Investment + salvage value}{2}[/tex]
Average investment= [tex]\frac{(280000+79000)}{2} = \frac{359000}{2}[/tex]
∴ Average investment= [tex]\$ 179500[/tex]
Annual rate of return= [tex]\frac{Annual\ income}{Average\ investment} \times 100[/tex]
Annual rate of return= [tex]\frac{28720}{179500} \times 100 = 16\%[/tex]
∴Annual rate of return on the project is 16%.
