The production department is proposing the purchase of an automatic insertion machine. It has identified 3 machines and has asked the accountant to analyze them to determine the best average rate of return.
| Machine A | Machine B | Machine C | |
| Estimated average annual income | $44,097.90 | $77,082.90 | $73,762.65 |
| Average investment | $314,985.00 | $256,943.00 | $491,751.00 |
a.Machine A or B
b.Machine B
c.Machine C
d.Machine A
Answer:
Correct option: B] Machine B

Particulars |
Machine A |
Machine B |
Machine C |
|
Estimated average annual income |
$44,097.90 |
$77,082.90 |
$73,762.65 |
|
Average investment |
$314,985.00 |
$256,943.00 |
$491,751.00 |
|
Average rate of return. = Estimated average annual income / Average investment |
14% |
30% |
15% |
Hence machine B have higher Average rate of return, i.e
30%, so machine B should be purchase due to best average rate of
return
