Answer:

The correct answer is 29.00%

Explanation:

The account rate of return on investment is the percentage of the amount invested that makes up the net return on investment. This is calculated as:

rate of return = (net income from investment ÷ cost of investment) × 100

net income from investment = $136,300

cost of investment = $470,000

∴ Rate of return = (136,300 ÷ 470,000) × 100 = 0.29 = 29%
