The correct answer should be A.
return on investment = (Annual profit/ total investment) * 100.
= (1.5 lakh/ 10 lakh) * 100.
= 15%.
ROI does not depend on the time value of money.

The correct answer is 15% that is option A.

Simple ROR = (Annual profit/ total investment) * 100.

= (1.5 lakh/ 10 lakh) * 100.
= 15%.

Can someone explain the math here please? If annual return is 1.5,

10 x 1.5 = 15 after 10 years.

So return on investment of 10 is 150%, no?

Rutu Patel said:   1 decade ago
Rate of return = (profit/investment)*100%.
And for per year divide answer with no.of years.

So for here,
150000 * 100 / 1000000 = 15%.

Rate of return per year = 15/10(year) = 1.5%.

Isn't it?

Total profit = 10 * 1.5L = 15L.
investment = 10L,
ROI = (15/10) * 100 = 150%,
ROI per year = 150/10 = 15%,

So, answer either be 15 or 150.

Its,

(Annual profit * 100)/(project life * total capital investment).

Right answer is 15%.

Total profit is = 1.5 * 10= 15 lacks.
Total investment is 1o lacks, so
Simple rate of return on investement = 15*100/10= 150%.
Rate of return means how many per cent of your total investment you are obtaining as a profit.

The Right answer will be option A, right?

HIMANSHU said:   4 years ago
Right answer is 15% because,

Percentage rate of return(rb) = yearly profit(p)/Total intial investment * 100,

Then,

1.5/10*100=1.5%.
