Russnak Corporation is investigating automating a process by purchasing a new machine for $501,000 that would have a 6 year useful life and no salvage value. By automating the process, the company would save $125,000 per year in cash operating costs. The company's current equipment would be sold for scrap now, yielding $31,000. The annual depreciation on the new machine would be $83,500. (Ignore income taxes.)
Required:
Determine the simple rate of return on the investment. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
