8) A private water utility purchases 10,000,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per
year for pump operations. The unit cost of electricity is currently 10.0 cents per
kilowatt-hour. Over the next 30 years, the utility's electrical energy consumption is
expected to remain constant while the unit cost of electricity increases at an average
rate of 3.0% per year. The utility's minimum attractive rate of return is 6.0%. Find
the present value of the next 30 years of electricity purchases in million dollars.
