4) The tires for a front - end loader cost $8,900 for all four tires. The loader is used 1,600 hour per year and the estimated life of the tires is 4,000 hours. Using a repair multiplier of 15% and an interest rate of 7.5%, determine the hourly cost of the tires, including tire repair.

5) An excavator consumes 3.9 gallons of fuel per hour. Determine the hourly fuel cost for the excavator if fuel cost $3.75 per gallon.

6) For an off - road dump truck, it is estimated that under normal conditions its hourly lubricant consumptions are as follows: crankcase, 0.011 gal/hr; transmission, 0.007 gal/hr; final drives including differential, 0.006 gal/hr; and hydraulic controls, 0.008 gal/hr. A tube of grease is used during each 8 - hour day to lubricate the grease fittings. The local costs of lubricants are as follows: oil for the crankcase, $28.00/gal; transmission fluid, $19.00/gal; oil for the final drives, $31.00/gal; hydraulic fluid, $9.00/gal; and grease, $5.00/tube. The filters for the truck cost $0.50 per hour of operation including the labor to install.
