Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new state-of-the-art numerically controlled machine. The new machine would cost $100,000 and would have a sixteen-year useful life. Unfortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new machine would cost $10,000 per year to operate and maintain, but would save $40,000 per year in labor and other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $10,000. The simple rate of return on the new machine is closest to (Ignore income taxes.) : (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

    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

    = 26.4%
