    Betty's Return on investment = 56.41%

    Explanation:

    Maximum contribution by the company = 4% of 100,000 = 4000 USD.

    Employer Contribution = 50% x 15,500.

    = 7,750

    Total contributed amount in USD = Betty contribution + Company's contribution

    = 15,500 + 4000

    = 19500 USD.

    Betty 401 (k) plan account had 50,000 USD in it at the beginning means, it is the opening balance in the acount.

    Opening amount = 50,000 USD

    Amount Earned = 100,000 - 50,000 - 19500.

    = 30500 USD.

    Betty's Return on investment = (Gain - cost) / cost

    = (30500 - 19,500) / (19,500)

    = 56.41%
