Answer:

17.86%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to:

First step is to calculate the Depreciation

Depreciation = $516,000 ÷ 6years

Depreciation= $86,000

Second step is to calculate Incremental operating income

Incremental operating income = $173,000-$86,000

Incremental operating income=$88,000

Now let determine the simple rate of return on the investment

Using this formula

Simple rate of return = incremental operating income ÷ initial investment

Let plug in the formula

Simple rate of return = $87,000÷$516,000

Simple rate of return =17.86%

Therefore The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to:17.86%

<span>By renting a home instead of purchasing one, you are paying someone else's mortgage every month and getting nothing in return. While you are gaining a home to live in for the short term, in the long term you will gain nothing.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

<u>Budgeted functional income statement for 2015</u>

Gross sales ($2,000,000  × 1.04 × 1.06)                                       $2,204,800

Less: Estimated uncollectible accounts ($2,204,800 × 2 %)         ($44,096)

Net sales                                                                                        $2,160,704

Cost of goods sold (1,100,000 × 1.03)                                          ($1,133,000)

Gross profit                                                                                     $1,027,704

Operating expenses (475,000 × 1.10)                                            ($522,500)

Depreciation                                                                                     ($25,000)

Net income                                                                                       $480,204

Explanation:

Make the adjustments stated on the 2014 Income Statement.

For Operating Expenses, it is wise to first remove the depreciation expense and apply the increment of 10% to reflect Operating Costs for 2015.

Treat Depreciation Expense separately and at the same amount as for 2014, since depreciation is calculated on straight line method.
