This increased cost is due to inflation and model improvement, and must be financed if the fleet strength is to be maintained and not depleted through the gradual attrition of price increases for replacements. The earnings for the provision for increased cost of replacements are derived from a factor which is included for this purpose in rental rates charged to program appropriations for equipment use and credited to the working capital fund. Retained earnings as of June 30, 1966, will total an estimated $7,300 thousand which will consist of $2,657 thousand gain on sale of equipment, $1,085 thousand profit from operations, and $3,558 thousand for provision for increased cost of replacement of equipment. Retained earnings have been applied toward increased cost of equipment replacements, purchase of fleet additions, and to furnish adequate working capital.
