ECON To maintain its newly acquired equipment, the company needs P40,000 per year for the first five years and P60,000 per year for the next five years. In addition, an amount of P140,000 would also be needed at the end of the fifth and the eighth years. At 6%, what is the present worth of these costs?

2. A manufacturing firm contemplates retiring an existing machine at the end of 2002. The new machine to replace the existing one will have an estimated cost of P400,000. This expense will be partially defrayed by sale of the old machine as scrap for P30,000. To accumulate the balance of the required capital, the firm will deposit the following sum in an account earning an interest of 5% compounded quarterly: P60,000 at the end of 1999 P60,000 at the end of 2000 P80,000 at the end of 2001 What cash disbursement will be necessary at the end of 2002 to purchase the new machine?
A plant to provide the company’s present needs can be constructed for P2,800,000 with annual operating disbursements of P600,000. It is expected that at the end of 5 years the production requirements could be doubled, which will necessitate the addition of an extension costing P2,400,000. The disbursement after 5 years will likewise double. A plan to provide the entire expected capacity can be constructed for P4,000,000 and its operating disbursement will be P640,000 when operating on half capacity (for the first 5 years) and P900,000 on full capacity. The plants are predicted to have indeterminately long life. The required rate of return is 20%. What would you recommend?
The direct labor cost and material cost of a certain product are P300 and P400 per unit, respectively. Fixed charges are P100,000 per month and other variable costs are P100 per unit. If the product is sold at P1,200 per unit, how many units must be produced and sold to breakeven?
