Answer:

20.1%

Explanation:

The computation of the simple rate of return is shown below;

= (operating cost - depreciation) ÷ (purchase of new machine - scrap value)

= ($145,500  - $50,500) ÷ ($505,000 - $35,000)

= ($94,500) ÷ ($470,000)

= 20.1%

hence, the simple rate of return is 20.1%

The same would be considered and relevant

marta [7]

Answer:

BEP units:          42,017

BEP dollars: 2,100,850

unit cost at 100,000 units produced: 22.40 dollars

operating profit :    1,656,000

Explanation:

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

50 - 2.4 = 47.6 contirbution margin per unit

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}

2,000,000/47.6 = 42.016,80 BEP units

BEP units x sales price = BEP dollars

42,017 x 50 = 2,100,850

(B)

fixed cosy/ units produced = fixed cost per unit

2,000,000/ 100,000 = 20 fixed cost per unit

fixed cost + variable cost = total cost

20 + 2.40 = 22.4

(C)

There are 40% units sold at the preferred customer at cost

So we sale at gain only 60% of the units:

100,000 units x 60% x 50       =  3,000,000

100,000 units x 40% x 22.40  =     896,000

Total revenue                              3,896,000

Cost: 100,000 x 22.40          <u>     (2,240,000)  </u>

operating profit                            1,656,000
