Answer:

The simple rate of return= 58.65%

Explanation:

Annual Return from the old machine = 22,500/9=2,500

Annual profit  = savings less depreciation=139,500-89,500=50,000

Total annual return = 2500 + 50,000 = 52,500

Average investment = $(805,500+ 0)/9 = 89,500  

Simple average return = average annul return/ Average investment

Average investment = (Initial cost + salvage value)/2

Simple average return = (52,500/ 89,500) × 100 = 53.159

The simple rate of return= 58.65%

Read the fine print, if it says “after signing, this contract is final.” Then Otto is screwed, because he must pay the $50,000
