Example:
1. A debt of Php 5,000 with interest at 12% compounded semi-
annually is to be amortized by equal semi-annual payments over
the next 3 years, the first due in 6 months. Find the semi-annual
payments and construct an amortization schedule.

A firm considering the installation of an automatic data processing
unit to handle some of its accounting operations. Machines for that
purpose may be purchased for Php 20,000, or maybe leased for
Php 8,000 for the first year and Php 1,000 less every year now and
then until the end of the 4th year. If money is worth 15% per
annum, is it advisable to rent or buy the machine?
Given:
Cost of machine = Php 20,000
A = Php 8,000
G = Php 1,000
i = 15% per annum
