Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]R = (\frac{V_f-Vi}{V_i} )100[/tex]
where,
[tex]V_f[/tex] is the final value
[tex]V_i[/tex] if the initial value
R is the investors rate of return
so,
[tex]R = (\frac{V_f-Vi}{V_i} )100\\\\R=(\frac{1500-1700}{1700})100 \\\\R=(\frac{-200}{1700})100 \\\\R=-11.8\\[/tex]
so the investors rate of return is -11.8%
