- Required information A remotely located air sampling station can be powered by solar cells or by running an above ground electric line to the site and using conventional power. Solar cells will cost $16,000 to install and will have a useful life of 5 years with no salvage value. Annual costs for inspection, cleaning, and other maintenance issues are expected to be $2,500. A new power line will cost $22,500 to install, with power costs expected to be $1,000 per year. Since the air sampling project will end in 5 years, the salvage value of the line is considered to be zero. NOTE: This is a multi-part question.

While work continues on these grand challenges, conservation of energy from non-renewable sources is vital. On a practical level, installing low thermal emissivity windows (low-e windows) on buildings can contribute to energy conservation. Installing low-e windows on a small office building is estimated to cost $10,500. The windows are expected to last 9 years and have no salvage value at that time. The energy savings from the windows are expected to be $2,525 in the 1st year. After the 1st year, the savings are expected to increase by $200 each year due to escalating fossil fuel costs. MARR is 12% per year and annual worth is the preferred measure of economic worth. Part a Are the low-e windows an economically attractive investment?
