Exercise 38

In Example 11.8, the in-place kiln and replacement kiln (GH) were evaluated using a fixed study period of 6 years. This is a significantly shortened period compared to the expected 12-year life of the challenger. Use the best estimates available throughout this case to determine the impact on the capital recovery amount for the GH kiln of shortening the evaluation time from 12 to 6 years.
