Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
[Return ÷ Investment] as a ratio ;
i.e The Ratio is Return : Investmen
[(Return1÷ Investment1 ) = (Return2÷ Investment2)]
R1 = N 25000
R2 =?
I1 = N450,000,
I1 = N 700000
(25000 ÷ 450000) = (R2 ÷ 700000)
R2 = [(25000 × 700000 ) ÷ 450000]
= N38,888.90K
∴ The return on a investment of Y = N38888.90K
