The heat loss through the exterior walls of a processing plant is expected to cost the owner $3000 next year. A salesman from Superfiber, Inc. claims he can reduce the heat loss by 80% with the installation of $15,000 worth of Superfiber now. If the cost of heat loss rises by $200 per year, after next year (gradient), and the owner plans to keep the building 10 years, what is his rate of return, neglecting depreciation and taxes?
