An investor originally paid $22,000 for a vacant lot twelve years ago. If the investor is able to sell the lot today for $62,000
MArishka [77]

Answer:

b.9%

Explanation:

Formula for annual rate of return formula is as follows;

Annual rate of return = [ (New value/ Initial value)^(1/t) ] -1

t = the total holding period of investment = 12 years

Old value = 22,000

New value = 62,000

Next, plug in the numbers to the formula;

Annual rate of return; r = [ (62,000/22,000) ^(1/12) ] -1

r = [2.8182 ^(1/12)] - 1

r = 1.0902 -1

r = 0.0902 or 9%
