    15.0%.

    Explanation:

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

    = Annual net income : average investment

    where,

    Annual net income is $30,000

    And, the average investment would be

    = (Initial investment + salvage value) : 2

    = ($400,000 + $0) : 2

    = $400,000 : 2

    = $200,000

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the rate would equal to

    = $30,000 : $200,000

    = 15%
