Explanation:

Annual net income:

= Increase in annual revenue - Increase in annual costs

= $220,000 - $160,000

= $60,000

Average investment:

= (Initial investment + Salvage value at the end) : 2

= (980,000 + 20,000) : 2

= $500,000

Annual rate of return:

= (Annual net income : Average investment) * 100

= ($60,000 : $500,000) * 100

= 12%
