Question

A company projects an increase in net income of $135,000 each year for the next five years if it invests $900,000 in new equipment. The equipment has a five-year life and an estimated salvage value of $300,000. What is the annual rate of return on this investment

Answer 1

the annual rate of return is 22.50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:

Average investment is

= ($900,000 + $300,000) ÷ 2

= $600,000

Now

Annual rate of return is

= Annual net income ÷ Average investment

= $135,000 ÷ $600,000

= 22.50%

hence, the annual rate of return is 22.50%
