On-site granular ferric hydroxide (GFH) systems can be used to remove arsenic from water when daily flow

Question:

On-site granular ferric hydroxide (GFH) systems can be used to remove arsenic from water when daily flow rates are relatively low. If the operating cost is $600,000 per year and the public health benefits are assumed to be $800,000 per year, what initial investment in the GFH system is necessary to guarantee a modified B/C ratio of at least 1.0? Assume that the equipment life is 10 years and the interest rate is 6% per year.
