Answer is 13 563.32. Provide the solution 

A gasoline engine is an internal combustion engine that
requires fuel for its combustion and operation. Due to the
development of its technology new designs are being
developed. Among the new design of the engine, is the
variable compression turbo or VC-turbo that makes it more
fuel-efficient, and moving parts are subjected to less
mechanical stress. Another design is the variable geometry
turbo or VGT which is focused on energy recovery from the
exhaust system of the engine.
Comparing to standard engine design:
VC- Turbo is 1.10 times the standard engine cost. The
maintenance cost is reduced by 0.65 than the usual. The
fuel consumption is decreased by 0.16.
VGT is 1.05 times the standard engine cost. The
maintenance cost is reduced by 0.3 than the usual. The fuel
consumption is decreased by 0.05.
The standard engine costs P320,000.00, the maintenance
cost on average is at P15,000.00 every 3 months. The
average fuel consumption is 10 km per liter.
Consider the present cost of the engine and maintenance
cost within 1 year of engine usage with an interest rate of
9% compounded semi-annually. Then, consider 12,000 km
of travel for fuel consumption with gasoline priced at
P45.00 per liter.
How much is the benefit of using only VC-turbo (benefit-
additional cost), in pesos?
