All projections, and interest rates set by the company shall be evaluated within this 30-year period.

Chapter 4: Products Our company produces ear dropper solution which can be sold for PHP. 125.00 per bottle. Annually, the company can produce 1000 pallets of the product. Each pallet is stacked with 14 layers and each layer consists of 8 boxes. A box contains 12 bottles of ear dropper for wholesale purposes. In addition, the company also ventures for retail services.By-products are also produced by the company including excess chemicals that can be sold for P1,200 per 15 grams.
