Explanation / Answer

A. Ans.

Firstly we calculate cost of investment:-

Secondly return from investment:-

Net return from investment = Return from investment - Cost of investment

   63360 - 59743.13 = 3616.87. ( Doller return)

2. What is your effective annual rate of return.

Annual rate of return = (c.f.a.t - depreciation)*1/no of year) / Averege investment.

                              = (3616.87 * 1*3/12)/(59743.13/2)

                              = 904.22 / 2,9871.57

Effective annual return % = 3.03
