Answer:

The expected rate of return on this investment is:

21%

Explanation:

Cost of computer = $200,000

Annual cash flows for 5 years = $48,271

Total cash flows = $241,355 ($48,271 x 5)

Returns = $41,355 ($241,355 - $200,000)

The expected rate of return = Returns/Costs * 100

or the average of returns and the average of investments (they yield the same results)

Using the total returns and investment:

= $41,355/$200,000 * 100

= 21%

Using the average returns and investment:

= $8,271/$40,000 * 100

= 21%
