Question

A project that cost $80000 with a useful life of 5 years is being considered. Straight-line depreciation is being used and salvage value is $5000. The project will generate annual revenues of $24350. The annual rate of return is:_______
a. 17%
b. 50.3%
c. 16%
d. 15%

Answer 1

Answer:

22%

Explanation:

Net income = Annual cash flow - Depreciation

Net income = 24350 - (80,000-5,000 / 5)

Net income = 24350 - 15,000

Net income = $9350

Average investment = Beg. value + End. Value / 2

Average investment = 80,000 + 5,000 / 2

Average investment = $42,500

Annual rate of return = Net income / Average investment * 100

Annual rate of return = $9350 / $42,500 * 100

Annual rate of return = 0.22 * 100

Annual rate of return = 22%

Answer 2

Answer:Annual Rate of Return =22%

The correct option is not given

Explanation:

Annual Rate of Return = Net Income / Average Investment x 100

Net Income= Annual Cash flow - Depreciation

Straight-line depreciation =Cost - salvage value / useful years

= 80,000 - 5,000 / 5

75,000/5= $15,000

Net Income=$24,350 - $15,000

               =$9,350

Average Investment= Initial investment + salvage value / 2

$80,000 + 5000 / 2

= $85,000/ 2

$42,500

Annual Rate of Return =$9, 350/ $42,500 x 100

= 0.22 x100

=22%
