- A university student painter is considering the purchase of a new air compressor and paint gun to replace an old paint sprayer. (Both items belong to Class 9 and have a 25 percent CCA rate.) These two new items cost $12,000 and have a useful life of four years, at which time they can be sold for $1,600.

- Liwayway High School is planning to install solar panels to provide some of the electricity for its groundwater desalting facilty. The project would be done in two phases. The first phase will cost P400 million in year 1 and P500 million in year 2. This investment will result in energy savings (phase 2) of P54,000,000 in year 3, P54,600,000 in year 4, and amounts increasing by P600,000 each year through year 10.
