Average rate of return = 14 %

Explanation:

Average rate of return = Annual average return/ Average Investment

Average investment =( Initial investment + scrap value)/2

Average investment = 138,000 + 12,000/2 =75,000

Average annual return = Savings in cost - energy cost - depreciation

Depreciation = (initial cost - scrap value)/2= (138,000 - 12,000)/2= 12600

Average annual return = 29,780-6,680-12600= 10500

Average rate of return = 10,500/75,000 × 100= 14 %

Average rate of return = 14 %
