    The simple rate of return on the new automated bottling machine is 7.07%

    Explanation:

    Consider the following formula to compute the result

    Annual incremental Net operating income/Initial investment = Simple rate of return

    (15000-6000-6100) / (61000-20000)

    2900/41000=0.07073

    7.07%
