Sample Problem. The World Trade Center Company plans to acquire a new equipment costing P1,200,000 to replace the equipment that is now being used. The terms of the acquisition are 3/30, n/90.Freight charges on the new equipment are estimated at P23,000 and it will cost P14,000 to install. Special attachment to be used with this unit will be needed and will cost P36,000. If the new equipment is acquired, operations will be expanded and this will require additional working capital of P250,000. The old equipment had an amortized cost P300,000 and will be sold for P180,000. If the new equipment is not purchased, the old equipment must be overhauled at a cost of P90,000.
