(a) What is the return on investment?
%
(b) Find the simple interest rate on the growth of their
investment.
%
a)
Return on Investment (ROI) is nothing but a ratio of gain from an investment relative to its cost.
Formula for ROI is:
We can also write it as:
So let us put the values in the formula:
or
b)
We know the formula for the simple interest.
Where,
I = Simple Interest of the gain on investment.
P = Principal or the initial value of the investment.
R = Rate of Simple Interest or Rate of return
T = Time in years.
By substituting the values in the formula, we get,
Therefore, the simple interest rate on the growth of their investment is 7%
