120 mm pipe 180 mm pipe
Initial cost $2500 $3500
Service life 12 years 12 years
Salvage value $ 300 $ 400
Annual maint. $ 300 $ 200
Pump cost/hr. $1.40 $1.00
Pump operation 600 hr./yr. 600 hr./yr

The company will use an annual interest rate of 10%. Annual maintenance and pumping costs may be considered to be paid in their entireties at the end of the years in which their costs are incurred.
