Ducey Corporation is contemplating purchasing equipment that would increase sales revenues by $79,000 per year and cash operating expenses by $27,000 per year. The equipment would cost $150,000 and have a 6 year life with no salvage value. The annual depreciation would be $25,000. (Ignore income taxes.)Required:Determine the simple rate of return on the investment to the nearest tenth of a percent.

What will be an ideal response?


 
Annual incremental revenues  $79,000
Annual incremental expenses:    
Annual cash operating expenses$27,000  
Annual depreciation ($150,000 - $0)/6 25,000 52,000
Annual incremental net operating income  $27,000
Simple rate of return = Annual incremental net operating income ÷ Initial investment

= $27,000 ÷ $150,000 = 18.0%
