A clothing plant consumed 600,000 kwh of electrie energy annually and pays an average of P2.05 per kwh. A study is being made to generate its own power to supply the plant with the energy required, and that the power plant installed would cost P2037720. Annual operation and maintenance is P800,000. Other expenses cost P100,000 per year. Life of power plant is 17 years, salvage value at the end of life is P212097; annual taxes and insurance, 5% of first cost, and rate of interest is 15%. Using the sinking fund method for depreciation, determine the rate of return of the planned power generator based on the net annual savings. Round off your answer to two decimal places. Note: Do not include the unit (ex. Peso, Dollar, Percent etc) in your numerical answer below. Add your answer

A construction company has purchased a motor for P20,000 and a generator for P8,000 to produce its own energy to meet electricity demands in the construction site. The assembly of the motor-generator set-up costs P5,000. The service will operate for 10 years, 1,600 hours per year. The maintenance cost is P1,200 per year, and the cost to operate is P5per hour for fuel and other costs. The salvage value at the end of ten years is equal to P1,000. Using straight-line depreciation, what is the annual cost of operation?
A processing plant consumed 650,000 kW of electric energy annually and pays an average of P6.50 per kWh. Astudy is being made to generate its own power to supply the plant the energy required, and that the power plant installed would cost P6,500,000. Annual operation and maintenance, P1,230,000. Other expenses P305,000 per year. Life of power plant is 16 years; salvage value at the end of life is P550,000; annual taxes and insurances, 6.5% of first cost; and rate of interest is 20%. Using the sinking fund method for depreciation, determine if the power plant is justifiable.

A machine costing P 95,000 is expected to produce 10,000 units of a certain products during its entire life before being replaced. At the end of its life, it will have a scrap value of P 5,000. The cost of housing the machine is P 2,500 a year. The power consumption per unit is P 0.90 and the maintenance of the machine per unit will be P 0.70. Labor costs P 3.50 per unit. If depreciation is by declining balance method, determine the cost per unit in its 3rd year of operation if the annual production is 2500 units.
A food processing plant consumed 600,000 kwh of electric energy annually and pays an average of ₱2.00 per kwh. A study is being made to generate its own power to supply the plant the energy required, and that the power plant installed would cost ₱2,000,000. Annual operation and maintenance, ₱800,000. Other expenses, ₱100,000 per year. Life of power plant is 15 years; salvage value at the end of life is ₱200,000; annual taxes and insurance, 6% of first cost; and rate of interest is 15%.
