Let's denote the sum of the present values of these perpetuities as S. Also let's call the annual effective interest rate as i.
Annuities are: w, w, 2w, 2w, 3w, 3w,...and so on
Hence, S = PV of all annuities
Let's multiply both sides by 1/(1+i)2. We will get the following equation:
Subtract this equation from the first one, we should get:
The RHS is an infinite geometric progression with w / (1 + i) as first time and 1 / (1 + i) as common ratio
Hence, RHS = First term / (1 - Common ratio) = [w / (1 + i)] / [1 - 1/(1+i)] = w / i
Hence, S [1 - 1/(1+i)2] = w / i
Hence, S x [1 - 1 / (1 + 10%)2] = w / 10%
Hence, S x 0.173553 = 10 x w
Hence, S = 57.62 x w ---------------------- Equation (A)
Further, S = PV of a geometrically increasing perpetuity with first term w and common ratio of (1+r)
Hence, S = PV of perpetuities w, w(1+r), w(1+r)2, w(1+r)3 and so on..... Thus,
The RHS is an infinite geometric progression with w / (1 + i) as first time and (1 + r) / (1 + i) as common ratio
Hence, RHS = First term / (1 - Common ratio) = [w / (1 + i)] / [1 - (1+r)/(1+i)] = w / (i - r)
Hence, S = w / (10% - r) ----------------Equation (B)
From equation (A) and (B):
S = 57.62 x w = w / (10% - r)
Hence, r = 10% - 1/ 57.62 = 0.082644628
hence, r = 0.0826 (rounded off to four places of decimal)

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
