step 4: for the shop valve replacement analysis, does i=j (that is the interest rate is the same as the gradient increase)?

- yes
- no

question 10
step 5: given the shop valve replacement analysis information above (and remembering that the gradient is negative), what is the present worth of the annual water losses on the system over the term
