8.13%

Explanation:

Annual return = [ (Total FV/Initial investment) ^ (1/n) ] - 1

n = useful life of the project

Total Future Value = (22650*5) + 5000

Total FV = $118,250

Initial investment = $80,000

Annual return = [ (118,250/80,000) ^ (1/5) ] - 1

r = [ (1.478125^ (1/5) ] - 1

r = 1.0813 - 1

r = 0.0813 or 8.13%
