Reference: 10-04
The Finney Company is reviewing the possibility of remodelling one of its showrooms and buying some new equipment to improve sales operations. The remodelling would cost $120,000 now and the useful life of the project is 10 years. Additional working capital needed immediately for this project would be $30,000; the working capital would be released for use elsewhere at the end of the 10-year period. The equipment and other materials used in the project would have a salvage value of $10,000 in 10 years. Finney's discount rate is 16%.
-The Jason Company is considering the purchase of a machine that will increase revenues by $32,000 each year. Cash outflows for operating this machine will be $6,000 each year. The cost of the machine is $65,000. It is expected to have a useful life of five years with no salvage value. For this machine, the simple rate of return is:

A) 9.2%.
B) 49.2%.
C) 20%.
D) 40%.
