06 = $5,553.33 + $14,133.33 = $19,686.66

ROI = ($31,080 - $19,686.66) / $19,686.66 = 0.5787

Scenario 2: The midpoint bid

Gain from Investment = $90 x 12 + $30,000 = $31,080

Total Cost of Investment = $292,580.86, out of which $92,580.86 are owned by Mr. King and $200,000 come from bank loans

Annual cost of investment = $92,580.86 / 15 + $200,000 x 1.06 / 15 = $20,305.38

ROI = ($31,080 - $20,305.38) / $20,305.38 = 0.5306

Scenario 3: The highest bid

Gain from Investment = $90 x 12 + $30,000 = $31,080

Total Cost of Investment = $311,111.11, out of which $111,111.11 are owned by Mr. King and $200,000 come from bank loans

Annual cost of investment = $111,111.11 / 15 + $200,000 x 1.06

/ 15 = $21,540.73

ROI = ($31,080 - $21,540.73) / $21,540.73 = 0.4428
