Answer:

Option D is correct

Expected rate of return = 18.6%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return is the proportion of average investment that is earned as income . It is calculated as follows:

Rate of return on investment = average return / Average investment

Average investment = (Initial cost + salvage value)/ 2

Average investment = 89,000 +14,000/ 2= 51500

Net income = $9,600

Expected rate of return =  9,600/51,500×  100

                               = 18.6%
