Stefan Lano needs displays that will show the musical instrument inventory in his chain of music stores that caters to musicians playing in world-class symphony orchestras in Basel, Switzerland; Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Philadelphia and New York in the United States. Design a form-fill interface for the inventory control of musical instruments in all four stores that could be used on a computer display screen. Assume that English will be the interface language.

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
