Lerok [7]

Explanation:

Ethics can be defined as the study of the behaviors that guide human behavior, that is, society is developed through a set of moral behaviors that define its values ​​and its conception of which human behaviors and attitudes are positive or negative. Ethics then emerges as the standardization of these behaviors and moral values, it is a code of conduct for positive actions by man in society in all areas of life.

inn [45]

Answer:

26.4%.

Explanation:

Net Profit:

= Saving of Labor & other Costs - Maintenance Cost of Machine -  Depreciation On Machine (100,000/ 16 years)

= $40,000 - $10,000 - $6,250

= $23,750

Initial Investment:

= Cost of new Machine - Salvage value of old machine

= $100,000 - $10,000

= $90,000

Simple Rate of Return = Net Profit ÷ Initial Investments

= $23,750 ÷ $90,000

= 0.264 × 100
