- Since many U.S. Navy aircraft are at or near their usual retirement age of 30 years, military officials want a precise system to assess when aircraft should be taken out of service. A computational method developed at Carnegie Mellon maps in 3-D the microstructure of aircraft materials in their present state so that engineers can test them under different conditions of moisture, salt, dirt, etc. Military officials can then determine if an aircraft is fine, is in need of overhaul, or should be retired. If the 3-D system allows the Navy to use one airplane 2 years longer than it normally would have been used, thereby delaying the purchase of a $20 million aircraft for 2 years, what is the present worth of the assessment system at an interest rate of 8% per year?arrow_forwardA company that manufactures brushes blowers invested $650,000 in an automated quality controlsystem for blower housings.

The contract was fixed-price with no more than 10% override on the total cost. As time proceeded, FD took the choices of the owners on appliances, finishing work on the floors and walls, and many other features and purchased look-alike substitutes from questionable-quality, internationallybased manufacturers and vendors. After living in the house for only 3 years, the owners were so disappointed with the quality of work that they decided to bring a law suit against FD and his company for breach of contract. However, they needed sound reasons upon which to base their legal claims against FD, were the case to go to court.
