Answer:

a) should install the solar cells

alternative 1, solar cells

initial investment $18,000

annual expenses $2,400 (5 years)

NPV =  $27,097.89

AW = (10% x $27,097.89) / [1 - (1 + 10%)⁻⁵] = $7,148.36

alternative 2, power line

initial investment $27,500

annual expenses $1,000 (5 years)

NPV =  $31,290.79

AW = (10% x $31,290.79) / [1 - (1 + 10%)⁻⁵] = $8,254.43

b) $23,307.10

Answer:

B

Explanation:

I think you've already figured this out for yourself, but I thought I'd answer anyway and maybe clarify some things.

Supply is the total amount of a <u>good or service</u> that is available to consumers.

  • Think about it: goods are physical things bought and sold, like apples. Services are actions done for another person, like taxi driving or renting a used car.
  • None of the other answers make sense: a "device" is not a strictly defined term in economics; an "industry" can't be available to consumers, and a "warranty" isn't applicable.
