A cement kiln with production capacity of 130 tons per 24 hours of clinker has its burning zone about 45 tons of magnesite chrome bricks being replaced periodically depending on some operational factors and the life of the bricks. If locally produced bricks cost Php 25,000 per ton and have a life of 4 months, while certain imported bricks costing Php 30,000 per ton and have a life of 6 months, determine the more economical bricks and by how much?
