26. You expect that a project will bring in $20,000 USD in revenue per year. You estimate it will cost $8,000 up front. You also estimate costs of $150 per month for the first 12 months, which equals $1,800 per year. Using the formula (G-C) ÷ C = ROI, how would you calculate the project’s return on investment (ROI) after the first 12 months?
- (20,000 – 8,000) ÷ 9,800 = 90%
- (20,000 – 9,800) ÷ 9,800 = 104%
- (20,000 – 9,800) ÷ 8,000 = 88%
- (20,000 – 14,400) ÷ 9,800 = 108%
