Standby power for water utility pumps and other electrical devices is provided by diesel-powered generators. as an alternative, the utility can use natural gas to power the generators, but it will be a few years before the gas is available at remote sites. the utility estimates that by switching to gas, it will save $22,000 per year, starting 3 years from now. at an interest rate of 8% per year, determine the present worth in year 0 of the projected savings that will occur in years 3 through 10.

Present worth of the prjected savings:   100,361.08

Explanation:

we will calculate the present value of a 22,000 dollars annuity for 8 years at 8% discount rate.

(3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th year = total of 8 years)

Then, we will bring it to present using the lump sum formula.

PV$126,426.0568

Then we calculate the present value as this is 3 years into the future:

Maturity  126,426.06

time   3.00

rate  0.08

PV   100,361.08
