Six years ago, an 80-kw diesel electric set cost $160,000. the cost index for this class of equipment six years ago was 187 and is now 194. the cost-capacity factor is 0.6. the plant engineering staff is considering a 120-kw unit of the same general design to power a small isolated plant. assume we want to add a precompressor, which (when isolated and estimated separately) currently costs $13291. determine the total cost of the 120-kw unit.

Ahospital purchases a $500,000 magnetic resonance imaging (mri) machine that has a useful life of 9 years. the salvage value at the end of 9 years is $77,000. (a) write a linear equation that describes the value y (in dollars) of the mri machine in terms of the time t (in years), 0 ≤ t ≤ 9. (b) find the value, in dollars, of the machine after 6 years. $ (c) find the time, in years, when the value of the equipment will be $140,000. (round your answer to two decimal places.) yr
