Answer:

$36000.

Explanation:

Given: Rate of return= 15%

           cost of project= $240000.

           Useful life= 5 years.

First, lets find out total income of the project.

We know, Income= [tex]\frac{Cost\ of\ project \times rate\ of\ return\times useful\ life}{100}[/tex]

Total income of project= [tex]\frac{\$ 240000\times 15\times 5}{100} = \$ 180000[/tex]

∴ Total income of project= $180000.

Now finding annual net income of the projects.

We know the useful life of the projects is 5 years.

∴ Annual net income= [tex]\frac{Total\ income}{useful\ life}[/tex]

⇒ Annual net income= [tex]\frac{\$ 180000}{5} = \$ 36000.[/tex]

The annual net income of the project is $36000, excluding depreciation expense.
