Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new state-of-the-art numerically controlled machine. The new machine would cost $330,000 and would have a twelve-year useful life. Unfortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new machine would cost $56,000 per year to operate and maintain, but would save $97,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $33,000. The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to (Ignore income taxes.) : (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

    The simple rate of return of 4.54%

    Explanation:

    The simple rate of return of 8.75%

    ($97,000 - $56,000 - $27,500) : $297,000

    =$13,500:$297,000

    =0.0454*100

    =4.54%

    The new machine $330,000 : 12 years useful life

    =$27,500

    The new machine $330,000

    Les old machine scrap $33,000

    =$297,000

    Therefore the simple rate of return is 4.54%
