Annual maintenance costs for a rotary kiln is P2,000. The placement if a new refractory would reduce the annual maintenance cost to P700 a year for the first 5 years and to P1,200 a year for the next 5 years. The annual maintenance cost after 10 years would be again P2,000. If maintenance cost are the only savings, what maximum investment can be justified for the new refractory? Assume interest at 4%.
