The Second World War was history's largest and most significant armed conflict. It served as the breeding ground for the modern structure of security and intelligence, and for the postwar balance of power that formed the framework for the Cold War. Weapons, materiel, and actual combat, though vital to the Allies' victory over the Axis, did not alone win the war. To a great extent, victory was forged in the work of British and American intelligence services, who ultimately overcame their foes' efforts. Underlying the war of guns and planes was a war of ideas, images, words, and impressions—intangible artifacts of civilization that yielded enormous tangible impact for the peoples of Europe, east Asia, and other regions of the world.
Answer:
payback period is 9.4785 ≅ 9.5 years
Explanation:
BTU stands for British thermal units and MCF stands for the volume of 1,000 cubic feet.
We know that one thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas equals 1.037 million Btu.
Difference between heat loss before and after installation = (42-28) millions BTU = 14 millions BTU
14 million BTU is equivalent to --
1.037 million BTU = 1 MCF
1 million BTU = (1/1.037) MCF
14 million BTU = (1/1.037) x 14 MCF = 13.5004 MCF
Cost of 13.5004 MCF = = $8.94 x 13.5004 = $120.6935
Pay back period = (1144/120.6935) = 9.4785
Therefore, her payback period is 9.4785 ≅ 9.5 years
