You are looking at a three$-$year project with a projected net income of $$2,000$ in Year $1,$ $$4,000$ in Year $2,$ and $$6,000$ in Year $3.$ The cost is $$12,000,$ which will be depreciated straight$-$line to zero over the threeyear life of the project. What is the average accounting return $($AAR$)?$ State your answer as a $\%$ with two decimals $($e$.$g$.,16\mathrm{.}78\%).$
