Problem 3: A certain manufacturing plant is being sold and was submitted for bidding. Two bids were submitted by interested buyers. The first bid offered to pay P 200,000 each year for 5 years, each payment being made at the beginning of each year. The second bid offered to pay P 120,00 the first year, P 18Ố,000 the second year, and P 270,000 each year for the next 3 years, all payments being made at the beginning of each year. If money is worth 12% compounded annually, which bid should the owner of the plant accept?
