Consider a machine that costs P20,000 and has a five years useful life. At the end of the five years, it can be sold for P4,000 after tax adjustment. The annual operating and maintenance (O&M) costs are about P500. If the firm could earn an after-tax revenue of P5,000 per year with this machine, should it be purchased at an interest rate of 10%?
