SAMPLE PROBLEM 1
An investment of P 270,000.00 can be made in a projectthat will produce uniform annual revenue of P 185,400.00for 5 years and then have a salvage value of 10% of the
investment. Out-of pocket costs for operation andmaintenance will be P 81,000.00 per year. Taxes andinsurance will be 4% of the first cost per year. Thecompany expects capital to earn not less than 25% beforeincome taxes. Is this a desirable investment? What is thepayback period of the investment?(Ans. ROR = 23.70%; Inflow = P 185,400.00, Outflow = P 188,908.76;
P income = P 507,439.87, P costs = P 516,875.90; F income = P 1,548,583.59,
F costs = P 1,577,380.08; PP = 2.6 years)

SAMPLE PROBLEM 2
A project capitalized for P 50,000.00 invested in depreciableassets will earn a uniform, annual income of P 19,849.00 in10 years. The salvage value is P 2000.00. The cost for
operation and maintenance total P 9,000.00 a year, andtaxes and insurance will cost 4% of the first cost each year.If the company expects its capital to earn 12% beforeincome taxes, is the investment worthwhile?
