NRG Energy plans to construct a giant solar plant in Santa Teresa, NM to
supply electricity to 30,000 southern NM and west TX homes. The plant will have
390,000 heliostats to concentrate sunlight onto 32 water towers to generate steam.
NRG will spend $460 million in constructing the plant and $430,000 per year in
operating it. If a salvage value of 20% of the initial cost is assumed, how much will
the company have to 'make each year (i.e., AW) for 20 years in order to recover its
investment at a MARR of 10% per year?
$56.83 million per year
$52.86 million per year
$58.65 million per year

Jim Bob holds an engineering degree and is currently employed in an aerospace company in Dallas. Jim Bob has saved about $200,000 since he started working and plans to purchase a house three years from now. His local bank pays 5.25% per year on savings if the account holder keeps the funds a minimum of three year in the account.
How much money will be available to Jim Bob should he decide to purchase a house with the money accumulated in this account for three years?
An integrated, combined cycle power plant produces 285 MW of electricity by gasifying coal. The capital investment for the plant is $570 million, spread evenly over two years. The operating life of the plant is expected to be 20 years. Additionally, the plant will operate at full capacity 75% of the time (downtime is 25% of any given year). The MARR is 6% per year
