Answer:

The overall rate of return is 16.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the overall rate of return is shown below:

= Actual amount return ÷ investment amount

= ($15,000 × 23% + $140,000 × 16%) ÷ ($155,000)

= ($3,450 + $22,400) ÷ ($155,000)

= ($25,850) ÷ ($155,000)

= 16.67%

Hence, the overall rate of return is 16.67%

We simply applied the above formula and the same is to be considered
