dexar [7]

Answer:

The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to 19.16%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the the simple rate of return on the investment we would have to use the following formula:

simple rate of return = Annual incremental net operating income

Initial investment

Initial investment = Cost of the new machine - salvage value of old machine

Initial investment = $384,000 - $24,000 = $360,000

Annual cost savings = $133,000

Annual depreciation = $384,000/6 = $64,000

Therefore, Annual incremental net operating income = $133,000 - $64,000 = $69,000

Therefore, simple rate of return = $69,000 / $360,000 = 19.16%

The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to 19.16%
