Question

A generator was installed by an Electric Cooperative for power generation. The cash price of the generator amounts to P 520, 000. 00 with a governmental tax of 4% of its price. Delivery charge, installation and other expenses before operation totals an amount of P 85, 500. 00. It is expected to have a scrap value of P 55, 000. 00 after 22 years of its life. At start, depreciation reserve fund uses a Straight Line Formula and seven years after the board decided to convert the reserve fund using the Matheson 
Formula. Fifteen years after it was installed, a fire accident happens on the site which makes the generator a total junk. If the board of the cooperative decided to replace this generator and installed a new one with a higher capacity in which the amount would be 30% higher than the first costs of the first generator, how much more money is needed to make this possible?
