Brian Industries has been producing two ingredients, components G1 and G2, for use in manufacturing its main products.

Brian's annual requirement for these ingredients is 8,000 units of G1 and 11,000 units of G2. Recently, Brian's management decided to devote additional machine time to other product lines resulting in only 123,000 machine hours per year that can be dedicated to the production of the ingredients. An outside company has offered to sell Brian the annual supply of the ingredients at prices of P22.50 for G1 and P27.00 for G2. Brian wants to schedule the otherwise idle 123,000 machine hours to produce ingredients so that the company can maximize its net benefits (or minimize its costs).

Note 1: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours.

Note 2: Fixed manufacturing overhead is applied on the basis of machine hours.

Assume that Brian's idle capacity of 123,000 machine hours has a traceable avoidable annual fixed cost of P44,000 that will continue if the capacity is not used. The maximum price Brian would be willing to pay a supplier for component G2 is: (nearest two decimal places)
