Annual profits from the sales of electricity generated by the plant to the power grid are estimated to be $4 million in year 1 to year 10, and $6 million in year 11 to year 20. All cash flows are assumed to occur at the end of each year. The plant has a useful life of 20 years with a salvage value of $1 million. The company MARR is 12%.
