    Problem 4:
    A 1kW heater load in a food processing system is supplied by an 86% efficiency
    converter which costs a £100. A higher efficiency (96.8%) converter is offered by you
    to the system technical team with a cost of £200. The team claims that 10% more
    efficiency needs 10 years to be paid back …. If the energy cost is £0.1/kWh, discuss the
    correctness of their claim with cost feasibility of your offer.
