A 52.12-hp motor that has an efficiency of 93.79% is soon to be obsolete. It will be replaced by a high efficiency motor which is 97.51% efficient. The motor operates 4,312 hours a year. Taking the cost of electricity to be ₱8.68 per kWh, compute for the annual savings due to the installation of the high-efficiency motor instead of the standard motor. Round your answer into two decimal places only.
