![6. A certain building has an old heating system. Annual cost of heating the building is currently $26,000 on average. An energy
consultant estimates that the heating bill can be reduced to $10,000 a year if $49,000 is invested to convert the old heating
system to a new one. If the new heating system is adopted, there will be an extra maintenance fee of $2,000 each year.
Both the old and new systems will have a zero salvage value at the end of their service lives and again both of them are
expected to serve for a maximum of 20 years starting from now. What is the net annual equivalent worth for this investment
in the new heating system, assuming a MARR of 11%?
