Return on Investment
Gain or loss, which is generated on an investment relative to invested amount of money, can be measured by return on investment (ROI) [1]. So, ROI provides companies or people to measure their gain or loss, return on investment, and annualized return on investment.
Let
\(F\) = Income
\(I\) = Initial Investment
\(N\) = Number of Years
\(P\) = Gain or Loss
\(R\) = Return on Investment
\(R_a\) = Annualized Return on Investment
We have
Example 1
Input
Investment = 2000
Income = 1500
Years = 3.5
Output
Gain or Loss = -500
ROI = -25%
Annualized ROI = -7.143%
Example 2
Input
Investment = 1000
Income = 1200
Years = 2
Output
Gain or Loss = 200
ROI = 20%
Annualized ROI = 10%
