(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Blaine Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new
state-of-the-art numerically controlled machine. The new machine would cost $180,000 and would have a ten-year useful life. Unfortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new machine would cost $12,000 per year to operate and maintain, but would save $48,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $20,000. What is the simple rate of return on the new machine (round off your answer to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent)? Select one:
1) 10.00%2) 26.67%3) 22.50%4) 11.25%show work please
