A lоcаl lаwncаre service is cоntemplating replacing an оlder leaf collector/shredder with a new more powerful unit.  While the old unit works, employees frequently complain about how easily the existing unit clogs, constant breakdowns, and how noisy it is.  A new unit is expected to solve all of these problems.  However, because the leaf collector/shredder is only used for 2 months a year, the lawncare service's owner is uncertain if buying the new unit is sensible.   Repairing the existing unit requires an average of ${fi} for the year and the operating costs are ${vi} an hour when it is working.  A new unit can be leased for ${fo} per year and will cost ${vo} per hour to operate.  What is the crossover point in hours for these 2 options?
