Crowl Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a machine for $804,600 that would have a 9 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $139,000 per year in cash operating costs. The new machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding $22,400. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $89,400. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to (Ignore income taxes.) : (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

    Simple rate of return on Investment = 6.34%

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    Initial investment = $804,600

    Realisable value = $22,400

    Net cash flow = $804,600 - $22,400

    = $782,200

    Annual income:

    Net income = Cash savings - Depreciation

    = $139,000 - $89,400

    = $49,600

    Simple rate of return on Investment = Net income : Net cash flow

    = $49,600 : $782,200

    = 0.0634

    = 6.34%
