Ramson Corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850 and have a useful life of 5 years. The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $81,100 per year. The machine would have a salvage value of $107,100 at the end of the project. (Ignore income taxes.)
Required:
a. Compute the payback period for the machine. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
b. Compute the simple rate of return for the machine. (Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar and your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
1) | payback period | |||||||
initial investment/annual net cash flow | ||||||||
283,850/81100 | ||||||||
3.5 | years | |||||||
2) | simple rate of return | |||||||
Annual incremental net operating income/initial investment | ||||||||
45,750/283850 | ||||||||
16.12% | ||||||||
Annual incremental cost savings | 81,100 | |||||||
annual depreciation | (283850-107100)/5= | 35350 | ||||||
Annual incremental net operating income | 45,750 | |||||||
