Kim Epson operates a full-service car wash, which operates from 8 A.M. to 8 P.M. seven days a week. The car wash has two stations: an automatic washing and drying station
that can handle 30 cars per hour and an interior cleaning station that can handle 210 cars per day. Based on a recent year-end review of operations, Kim estimates that future
demand for the interior cleaning station for the seven days of the week, expressed in the average number of cars per day, would be as follows:

By installing additional equipment (at a cost of $90,000) Kim can increase the capacity of the interior cleaning to 300 cars per day. Each car wash generates a pretax
contribution of $5.00. Should Kim install the additional equipment if she expects a pretax payback period of three years or less?
install the additional equipment because the payback period is years. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)

Horizon BP in Antelope Park, Alaska, has noticed that utility bills are substantially higher when the average monthly temperature is
colder. The only thing in the shop that uses natural gas is the furnace. Because of prevailing low temperatures, the furnace is used
every month of the year (though less in the summer months and very little in August). Everything else in the shop runs on electricity,
and electricity use is fairly constant throughout the year.
For a year, Horizon has been recording the average daily temperature and the cost of its monthly utility bills for natural gas and
electricity.
