Answer:

18 %

Explanation:

Annual rate of return on this investment = annual profit / average investment x 100

where,

annual profit = $108000

average investment = (initial cost + salvage value) ÷ 2

                                 = ($900000 + $300000) ÷ 2

                                 = $600,000

therefore,

annual rate of return on this investment = $108000 / $600,000 x 100

                                                                   = 18 %
