JRT Motors Inc. has been shipping its Suzuki engines in containers to avoid the necessary crating of the
engines. JRT Motors Inc. will pay freight on container load of 40 tons, regardless of whether or not the
container is completely filled with engines. Record shows that due to engine size, JRT Motors Inc. has
shipped only 30 tons per container. Freight of container cost P3.00 per kilograms.

A group of Filipino Mechanical Engineers formed a corporation and the opportunity to invest P8,000,000 in
either of the two situations. The first is to expand a domestic operation. It is estimated that this
investment would return a net year end cash flow of P2,000,000 each year for 10 years and at the end
of that time, the physical assets, which would no longer be needed, could be sold at P5,000,000. The
alternative opportunity would involve building and operating a plant in a foreign country. This
operation would involve no net cash flow during the first 3 years, but it is believed that, beginning
with the end of the fourth year, an annual flow of P4,000,000 would be received, running through the
end of the 10th year. After that time, it is believed that the operation and facilities might be
expropriated, with little, if any, compensation, being paid. Which of the following is true?
Foreign operation yields bigger rate of return.
Domestic and foreign operations yield the same rate of return.
Domestic operation has double the rate of return of the foreign operation.
Foreign operation yields approximately 3% less rate of return than domestic operation.

members. This may be done by laying out the position of the hole on the members and using a drill
press for this method, a machinist wage rate is P20.25 per hour and he can drill 27 holes per hour. An
alternative method is by the use of the multiple punch machine. In this process, the machinist wage
rate is P20.00 per hour and he can complete 8 holes per minute. This method requires P0.50 per holes
to set the multiple punch machine and an installation cost of P2,000.00. If all other costs are the same,
for what number of rivet holes will the multiple punch machine pay for itself?
