b) Sonar sensors are being purchased for use in loading docks to help trucks back up safely. The cost of purchasing and installing these sensors will cost a total of $250,000 up-front. The sensors provide two benefits: 1. Faster turnaround time at the loading docks will result in a benefit of $65,000/yr in nominal dollars. 2. Reducing impact damage to the docks will result in a benefit of $10,000/yr in nominal dollars. The sensors will last for five years, at which point they can be sold for parts for $15,000 in nominal dollars. Over this timespan, the inflation rate is expected to be a constant 2.5%. The ownership of the loading docks have set an MARR at 18%, based on nominal dollars. What is the MARR in real dollars?
