You will execute 10 test runs and calculate the average of the dist value and runtimes of each sorting algorithm. on the first run you will run the sorting algorithms on the sorted array and then store their runtime information in an infonode. for each of the remaining runs you will clone the sorted array and shuffle the cloned array and run the sorting algorithms of the shuffled cloned array and then store their runtime information in an infonode.

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
