If the sinking fund earns 9% p.a. compounded monthly, determine: a) The book value of the old equipment in 6 years' time. b) The cost of the new equipment in 6 years' time. C) The value the sinking fund must attain, if the book value of the current equipment is used towards the cost of the new equipment. d) The monthly payments that need to be made into the sinking fund if payments commence one month after the current equipment is purchased and will continue until the new equipment is purchased.

This machine is expected to save GMC $35,000 during the first operating year. Then, the annual savings are expected to decrease by 3% each subsequent year over the previous year due to increased maintenance costs. Assuming that GMC would operate the machine for an average of 5,000 hours per year and that the machine would have no appreciable salvage value at the end of the five year period, determine the equivalent dollar savings per operating hour at 15% interest compounded annually.
