Return on Investment
Gain or loss, which is generated on an investment relative to invested amount of money, can be measured by return on investment (ROI) [1]. So, ROI provides companies or people to measure their gain or loss, return on investment, and annualized return on investment.
Let
					\(F\) = Income 
					\(I\) = Initial Investment 
					\(N\) = Number of Years
				
					\(P\) = Gain or Loss 
					\(R\) = Return on Investment 
					\(R_a\) = Annualized Return on Investment
				
We have
Example 1
Input
					Investment = 2000 
					Income = 1500 
					Years = 3.5
				
Output
					Gain or Loss = -500 
					ROI = -25% 
					Annualized ROI = -7.143%
				
Example 2
Input
					Investment = 1000 
					Income = 1200 
					Years = 2
				
Output
					Gain or Loss = 200 
					ROI = 20% 
					Annualized ROI = 10%
