If a Class C amateur applies for renewal of his license for another 3 years but is 14 months expired and the prescribed license fee is P144.00 per year, how much shall he pay NTC for his Radio Station License renewal excluding filing fee?
- A.
  
  P448
- B.
  
  P548
- C.
  
  P648
- D.
  
  P748
Correct Answer
C. P648

Explanation
The Class C amateur's license is expired by 14 months, which means he needs to pay for the renewal of those 14 months in addition to the next 3 years. The prescribed license fee is P144.00 per year, so for the 14 months, he needs to pay P144.00 x 14 = P2016.00. For the next 3 years, he needs to pay P144.00 x 3 = P432.00. Adding these two amounts together, the total amount he needs to pay for the renewal is P2016.00 + P432.00 = P2448.00. However, the question asks for the amount excluding the filing fee, so the correct answer is P2448.00 - P1800.00 (filing fee) = P648.00.
