Answer:

23%

Explanation:

The computation of the average rate is shown below:

But before that following calculations to be done

Annual Depreciation is

= ($132,000  - $16,000) ÷ 10

= $11,600

The Annual Net Income would increase by

= $34,000 - $5,380 - $11,600

= $17,020

Now Average Investment is

= ($132,000 + $16,000) ÷ 2

= $74000

The Average rate of return is

= Increase in Annual Net Income ÷ Average Investment

= $17,020 ÷ $74,000

= 23%
