Answer:

0.44

Explanation:

The rate of return is the ratio of profit received from an investment to the original invested amount. For this question, this can be calculated as follows:

Amount invested = $2,500

Income received at end of year 2 = $1,800

Income received at end of year 5 = $1,800

Total income received = $1,800 + $1,800 = $3,600

Profit from the investment = $3,600 - $2,500 = $1,100

Rate of return = $1,100/$2,500 = 0.44

Therefore, the resulting rate of return is 0.44.

The rate of return should be 11.40%.

Calculation of the rate of return;

Since the investment, amount is $2,500 and in return two payments of $1800 should be at the end of 2 years and at the end of 5 years.

So, here the rate of return should be

$2,500 = 1800 / (1 + r)^2  +  $7,500 / (1 + r)^5

So, on solving this, the rate of return is 11.40%.
