Addison Corporation is considering the purchase of equipment that would increase sales revenues by $250,000 per year and cash operating expenses by $100,000 per year. The equipment would cost $400,000 and have a 5-year life with no salvage value. The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to .

17.5%

Explanation:

Calculation for The simple rate of return on the investment

First step is to calculate the Depreciation

Depreciation =$400,000/5 years

Depreciation = $ 80,000

Second step is to calculate the annual incremental net operating income

Sales Revenue $250,000

Less Cash Operating Expenses ($100,000)

Less Depreciation ($80,000)

Annual incremental net operating income $70,000

($250,000-$100,000-$80,000)

Last step is to calculate the simple rate of return on the investment using this formula

Simple rate of return=Annual incremental net operating income/Initial investment

Let plug in the formula

Simple rate of return=$70,000/$400,000

Simple rate of return=0.175*100

Simple rate of return=17.5%

The simple rate of return on the investment is closest to 17.5%

1   all nations face the problem of scarcity because there are limited resources and unlimited wants. nations do not have enough factors of production to produce everything that their population wants. entrepreneurial resources initiate businesses to make new goods and services; labor resources produce goods and services.

2 there are four factors of production: natural resources, labor resources, capital resources, and entrepreneurial resources. natural resources are raw materials from nature that are used to produce goods. trees, water, and grains are natural resources. some natural resources, such as wheat and cattle, are renewable
