A plant to provide the company’s present needs can be constructed for P 2,800,000 with an annual operating disbursement of P 600,000. It is expected that at the end of 5 years, the production requirements could be doubled, which necessitate the addition of an extension costing P 2,400,000. The disbursement after 5 years will be likewise double. Another plan is to provide the entire expected capacity can be constructed for P 4,000,000 and its operating disbursement will be P 640,000 when operating on half capacity (for the first five years) and P 900,000 on full capacity. The plants are predicted to have indeterminately long life. The required rate of return is 20%. What would you recommend?
