The answer is 14.4%

Explanation:

Calculations as follows:

Total returns 1600*12*5=96,000

Plus the capital investment of 100,000

Total amount 100,000+96,000=196,000

196,000=100,000 (1+r/100) ∧5

196,000/100,000 = (1+r/100) ∧5

5√1.96=1 + r/100

5√1.96 - 1 = r/100

1.1440-1 = r/100

0.144 = r/100

r = 14.4%
