8. San Jose Company is considering the acquisition of a personal computer that costs P 120, 000 with an economic life of 12 years and a terminal
salvage value of P 12, 000. It is estimate that the increase in net income before taxes as a result from this investment will amount to P 7, 000
annually. Income taxes are 35%. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. What is the accounting rate of return on the
average costs of investment?

with no salvage value. The simple rate of return is expected to be 15% on the initial investment. Assuming a uniform cash flow, this investment
is expected to provide annual cash flow from operation of:
