Pierre’s hair salon is considering opening a new location in french lick, california. the cost of building a new salon is $286,000. a new salon will normally generate annual revenues of $68,500, with annual expenses (including depreciation) of $41,200. at the end of 15 years the salon will have a salvage value of $78,000. calculate the annual rate of return on the project. annual rate of return __ %.

Annual rate of return of building a new salon 15%.

Explanation:

We have Annual rate of return = Average Annual Profit / Average Investment;

in which: Average Annual Profit = Average annual revenues - Average annual expenses (including depreciation) = 68,500 - 41,200 = $27,300 ( because annual revenues and annual expenses including depreciation are estimated at the same level through out 15 years of the new salon's useful life).

Average investment = (Original investment + Net book value at the end of investment) /2 = ( 286,000 + 78,000) /2 = $182,000 ( because Net book value at the end of investment is equal to Estimated salvage value at the end of the salon useful life).

Thus, Annual rate of return = 27,300 / 182,000 = 0.15 = 15%.
