Initial investment= $275000

Average net income= ($21,400+ $22,300+ $24,600+ $18,300)/ 4

= $21650

 

Average investment= (Initial investment+ Book value at the end)/ 2

= (275000+ 0)/ 2

= $137500

 

Average accounting rate of return= (Average net income/ Average investment)* 100

= (21650/ 137500)* 100

= 15.75%
