On December 1, 2021, HP Corp. is contemplating to invest into a new equipment costing P2,500,000 plus an installation cost of P200,000 to replace its old equipment that has a book value of P400,000 and a remaining useful life of 4 years. The estimated useful life of the new equipment is 4 years and has a salvage value of P500,000. If the company will favor the replacement decisions, the old equipment can be sold for P150,000 but additional working capital investment must be made amounting to P400,000. However, the company must incur a repair cost of P180,000 to continuously use the old equipment. The annual cash operating costs of the old equipment is P4,000,000 while the annual cash operating cost of the new equipment is P2,400,00. At the end of the useful life, cost to remove the new equipment will amount to P100,000. The company uses a tax rate of 35%, requires a payback period is 2.5 years or less, and accepts a minimum accounting rate of return is 15%.    Compute for the net investment.    Compute for the annual after-tax net cash inflow.
