A system is maintained according to policy 7 (section 3.2.6.4). The repair cost of a system failing at time t has a uniform distribution over the interval [a, a + bt] with a ≥ 0 and b > 0.

Under the same assumptions as in section 3.2.6.4 (in particular assumptions (3.96) and (3.99)), show that every linearly increasing repair cost limit

leads to a higher maintenance cost rate than K₇(c∗) given by (3.105).
