Berry Products is considering two pieces of machinery. The first machine costs P50,000 more than the second machine. During the two-year life of these two alternatives, the first machine has P155,000 more cash flow in year one and a P110,000 less cash flow in year two than the second machine. All cash flows occur at year-end. The present value of 1 at 15% end of 1 period and 2 periods are 0.86957 and 0.75614, respectively. The present value of 1 at 8% end of period 1 is 0.92593 and period 2 is 0.85734. At what discount rate would Machine 1 equally acceptable as machine 2?

The NUBD Co. is planning to purchase a new machine. The payback period will be 6 years. The cash flow from operations, net of income taxes, will be P20,000 a year for each of the first three years of the payback period and P30,000 a year for each of the last three years of the payback period. Depreciation of P15,000 a year will be charged to income for each of the six years of the payback period. How much will the machine cost?
