Paula Boothe, president of the Martinez Corporation, has mandated a minimum 9% return on investment for any project undertaken by the company. Given the company's decentralization, Paula leaves all investment decisions to the divisional managers as long as they anticipate a minimum rate of return of at least 11%. The Energy Drinks division, under the direction of manager Martin Koch, has achieved a 14% return on investment for the past three years. This year is not expected to be different from the past three. Koch has just received a proposal to invest $2,600,000 in a new line of energy drinks that is expected to generate $312,000 in operating income.

Calculate the return on investment expected on the new line of energy drinks. (Round answer to 1 decimal place, e.g. 5.1%.)
