Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the estimated total cost of a robotic system for soil sampling, including maintenance for 5 years if the initial investment is $50,000 and maintenance is approximately 10% of the initial cost annually.

💡 Hint: Think about how annual costs accumulate over a period.

Question 2

If a sensor's calibration interval changes from once a year to twice a year, how does that impact maintenance costs over 5 years, assuming each calibration costs $200?

💡 Hint: Consider how frequency of tasks affects overall expenditure.
