Investment in plant and equipment of $600,000. The plant and equipment have an estimated useful life of 5 years and the residual value would be zero. The plant and equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis for tax purposes. The forecasted sales in year 1 is $600,000 and $800,000 per year thereafter. Labour and material costs are equivalent to 50 per cent of incremental sales. The policy (objective) is to sell the outlet at the end of year 3. The estimated selling price is $3.5 million. Sales in a similar outlet of ABC Ltd will decline by $80,000 per year due to loss of customers and experienced staff to the new venture.

A firm is considering purchasing equipment that will reduce annual costs by P 40,000. The equipment costs P 300,000 and has a salvage value of P 50,000 and a life of 7 yrs. The annual maintenance cost is P 6,000. While not in use by the firm, the equipment can be rented to others to generate an income of P 10,000 per year. If money can be invested for an 8% return, is the firm justified in buying the equipment? Use annual cost method.
