Miguel is trying to decide whether or not to replace the windows on his house. Miguel estimates that installing new windows would cost $11,000 and would save him $2,000 per year in energy costs. Assume a MARR of 10% and a useful life of 10 years. Compute the AW of this decision. Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to a whole number. The tolerance is ±10.
