Because of COVID 19 pandemic, inflation rate have increased significantly. Evidently, the budget for the maintenance of an extruding machine for tire production have fluctuating budget over its economic life. During each of the six years P1,500 per year will be budgeted. During the second six years the annual budget will be P1,800 per year. In addition, P5,500 will be budgeted for an overhaul at the end of tenth year. The owner would like to compute for the equivalent uniform annual expenditures assuming compound interest at 6% per annum. Compute the equivalent uniform annual expenditures for the 12 years period.
