Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new state-of-the-art numerically controlled machine. The new machine would cost $150,000 and would have a sixteen-year useful life. Unfortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new machine would cost $20,000 per year to operate and maintain, but would save $50,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $15,000. The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to (Ignore income taxes.) :

    Explanation:

    Net Profit:

    = Saving of Labor & other Costs - Maintenance Cost of Machine - Depreciation On Machine (150,000 / 16 Year)

    = $50,000 - $20,000 - $9,375

    = $20,625

    Initial Investment:

    = Cost of new Machine - Salvage value of old machine

    = $150,000 - $15,000

    = $135,000

    Simple Rate of Return = Net Profit : Initial Investments

    = $20,625 : $135,000

    = 0.1528 * 100

    = 15.28%
