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?

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?
