    Explanation:

    The computation of Average rate of return is shown below:-

    Annual operating income = Sales - Manufacturing cost

    = (4,000 * $450) - (4,000 * $264)

    = $744,000

    Average investment = (Initial cost + Residual value) : 2

    = ($940,000 + $20,000) : 2

    = $480,000

    Average rate of return = Average annual operating income : Average investment

    = $744,000 : $480,000

    = 155%
