    Explanation:

    To calculate the Annual Rate of Return on such a project, you divide the Average net profit that the project is expected to make by the Average investment value.

    This in effect compares future income to the investment in the project and so is a very useful tool in analysis.

    Annual Rate of Return = Average Net Profit / Average Investment

    Average Net Profit.

    A new salon will normally generate annual revenues of $64,160, with annual expenses (including depreciation) of $40,500.

    The net profit is revenue less expenses so,

    = 64,160 - 40,500

    = $23,660

    Average Investment

    The Average Investment is calculated by taking the average of the Initial Value of the project and it's ending value.

    Initial value is $262,000 as that was the cost.

    The Ending Value is the salvage value of $76,000.

    = (262,000 + 76,000) / 2

    = $169,000

    The Annual Rate of Return is,

    = 23,660 / 169,000

    = 0.14

    = 14%
