13.2%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the average rate of return is shown below:

= Average net income : average investment

where,

Average net income is

= $231,000 : 5 years

= $46,200

And, the average investment would be

= (Initial investment + salvage value) : 2

= ($700,000 + $0) : 2

= $700,000 : 2

= $350,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the rate would equal to

= $46,200 : $350,000

= 13.2%
