    Explanation:

    Simple rate of return:

    return/investment

    return:

    In this case, it will be the cost saving for the new machine: 161,000

    We will decrease the investment by the recovery from the old machine.

    468,000 new machine - 24,000 salvage value of new = 444,000

    Then, proceed to calculate:

    161,000/444,000 = 0.3612 = 36.26%

    Consideration:

    Is important to state that this rate, do not consider the time value of money, neither the cash flow of the project.
