To improve crack detection in military aircraft, the Air Force combined ultrasonic inspection proce­dures with laser heating to identify fatigue cracks. Early detection of cracks may reduce repair costs by as much as $200,000 per year. If the savings start at the end of year 1 and increase by 3% each year through year 5, calculate the present worth of these savings at an interest rate of 10% per year.
