Chapter 4.A, Problem 58E
Solar Payback Period. Julie is considering installing photovoltaic panels on the roof of her house. Her monthly electricity bills currently average $85. The cost of installing a photovoltaic system is $15,400; however, she expects to see a 40% reduction in this cost due to tax credits and local rebates. Assuming all of her electrical needs are met by the new system and neglecting possible revenue when the system puts electricity back into grid, what is the approximate payback period on the investment?

Carl is curious about the original cost of the digital imaging equipment he uses at the First National Bank. Accounting cannot tell him the cost, but they know the annual depreciation over an 8-year period is $18,900 per year. If all items are straight-line depreciated and the salvage is always 25% of the first cost, estimate the original cost. Draw a diagram and complete solution.
Julie is considering installing solar photovoltaic panels on the roof of her house. Her monthly electricity bills currently average $60. The cost of installing a photovoltaic system is $18,000; however, she expects a 30% reduction in
this cost due to tax credits and local rebates. Assuming all of her electrical needs are met by the new system and neglecting possible revenue when the system puts electricity back into the grid, what is the approximate payback
period for the photovoltaic system?
The photovoltaic panels will pay for themselves in approximately months.
