maintain, but would save $55,000 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:

machine would replace some old equipment that would be sold for scrap now, yielding
$19,000. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $86,000. The simple rate
of return on the investment is closest to:
