Respuesta :

Answer:Annual Net Income =$16,100---- B

Explanation:

Depreciation expense  using straight line = Cost - Salvage life / Useful life

($ 161, 000 - $7000) / 4

=$154,000 / 4

=$38,500

                           

Annual Net Income to calculate the accounting rate of return= Annual Cash flow - Depreciation

= $54,600 - $38,500

=$16,100
