Answer 1

Answer:

a. ROI Dollar Amount $4; ROI percentage = 8%.

b.ROI Dollar Amount $15; ROI percentage = 15%.

a. We have:

Initial investment            $50

Amount at year end       $54

ROI Dollar Amount         $54 -50 = 4$

ROI Percentage              $\mathbf{ \frac{4}{50} * 100 = 8%}$

b.

Initial investment            $100

Amount at year end       $115

ROI Dollar Amount         $115 -100 = 15$

ROI Percentage              $\mathbf{ \frac{15}{100} * 100 = 15%}$
