Assume that you are tasked to buy a motor for your future employer, and it just so happens that you have narrowed your search down to two motors, one with Nameplate \#1, and the other with Nameplate \#2 above. Assume these two motors will operate for 10 years at a constant 1 HP , operate at 220 V , motor 1 will cost \(\$ 2000\), and motor 2 will cost \(\$ 1000\). Also assume that the cost per KWh to run them is \(\$ 0.10\), which motor would you purchase and why (show all calculations)?
