8. A city engineer must find the capitalized costs of perpetual service from a water plant. A storage tank that costs $40,000 is needed now. In 10 years, a second, $60,000 tank will be needed. At that time, a $7000 pumping system with an 8-yr usable life will be installed. Pump maintenance and operations costs are projected to be $800 the first year, $900 the second, and increase by $100 each year for the 8-yr life. Assuming no salvage value...
