You are thinking of making an investment in a new factory. The factory will generate revenues of $ 1 ,510, 000 per year for as long as you maintain it. You expect that the maintenance costs will start at $ 77 ,010 per year and will increase 4 % per year thereafter. Assume that all revenue and maintenance costs occur at the end of the year. You intend to run the factory as long as it continues to make a positive cash flow (as long as the cash generated by the plant exceeds the maintenance costs). The factory can be built and become operational immediately and the interest rate is 5 % per year. a. What is the present value of the revenues? b. What is the present value of the maintenance costs? c. If the plant costs $ 15 ,100 , 000 to build, should you invest in the factory?

Java Programming Create a class named Problem1, and create a main method, the program does the following:
- Prompt the user to enter a String named str. - Prompt the user to enter a character named ch.
- The program finds the index of the first occurrence of the character ch in str and print it in the format shown below.
- If the character ch is found in more than one index in the String str, the program prints the first index only.
- You may not use any built-in String methods to complete the task. You can only use the chartAt()and length() methods from the String class.
- Copy the output to a text file named Problem1.txt example output:

Question 20 (1 point)
The ________ circuit overcomes the problem of false switching caused by noise on the input(s).
A) Schmitt trigger
B) input noise eliminator
C) differentiator
D) input buffer
Confused on this one, mainly the wording. Books states a Schimtt trigger is built in a comparator for hysteresis which helps with noise, but a schimitt triiger is not a "circuit" from what I gather in the text. Out of all the options there, the only one the book refers to as a "circuit" is a differentiator. But it states that is noisy which the question reads from what I gather stops/overcomes the noise.
The other two options are not noted anywhere in the chapter.
My reference material is from Electronic Devices by Floyd 10th Ed Chapter 13. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
