You’re trying to choose between two different investments, both
of which have up-front costs of $104,000. Investment G returns
$169,000 in 9 years. Investment H returns $289,000 in 16
years.
Calculate the rate of return for each of these investments.
(Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your
answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g.,
32.16.)
Rate of Return | ||
Investment G | % | |
Investment H | % | |
Annual rate of return = [Future value /present value ]^1/n -1
Investment G: [169000/104000]^1/9 -1
= [1.625]^.11111 -1
= 1.0554 -1
= .0554 or 5.54%
Investment H =[289000/104000]^1/16 -1
= [2.77885]^ .0625 -1
= 1.066-1
= .0660 or 6.60%
