Economical solar energy and energy from fusion have been identified as two of engineering's grand challenges. 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 $11,000. The windows are expected to last 10 years and have no salvage value at that time. The energy savings from the windows are expected to be $2,275 in the 1st year. After the 1st year, the savings are expected to increase by $225 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? Click here to access the TVM Factor Table Calculator. The annual worth of installing the low-e windows is $ Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to a whole number. The tolerance is ±1.

A firm is must choose to buy the GSU-3300 or the UGA-3000. Both machines make the firm’s production process more efficient which in turn increases incremental cash flows. The GSU-3300 produces incremental cash flows of $24,998.00 per year for 8 years and costs $99,590.00. The UGA-3000 produces incremental cash flows of $29,475.00 per year for 9 years and cost $126,038.00. The firm’s WACC is 8.32%. What is the equivalent annual annuity of the GSU-3300? Assume that there are no taxes.

Much of the current generation capacity of PEC facilities utilizes coal and natural gas as the primary fuel source. What about the ethical aspects of the government’s allowance for these plants to continue polluting the atmosphere with the emissions that may cause health problems for citizens and further the effects of global warming? What types of regulations, if any, should be developed for PEC (and other generators) to follow in the future?
