A ditch-digging machine may be rented at a cost of P750 a day, in
actual use and in transit to and from the construction site. In
actual use, fuel and oil will cost P280 a day. It takes one day, each
way, for transporting the machine. Freight charges for
transporting the machine will be P1,200 each way. The machine
operator accompanies the machine and is paid P280 each day. The
services of 2 laborers would also be needed, in addition to the
