    It will purchase three.

    Explanation:

    the return will be:

    income / investment

    1ST rug cleaners: 200/500 = 40% return

    2 rug cleaners: 150/500 = 30% return

    3 rug cleaners: 75/500 = 15% return

    4 rug cleaners: 20/500 = 4% return

    As the current market rate is 12% if the forth rug cleaner is pruchased it will not turn out profitable.
