Thunder Bay Hydro has two options for upgrading a geothermal power station to meet new government standards. Option 1: Thunder Bay Hydro will make the upgrades themselves. This is expected to cost $14,400 at the end of each month for 15 years. At the end of the operation (in 15 years) Thunder Bay Hydro expects to sell all equipment needed for the upgrade for $106,000 Option 2: Pay experienced contractors. This will cost $43,000 up front and $12,600 monthly for 14 years. Assume all interest is 2.14% compounded monthly. Round the answers to NPV (Option 1), and NPV (Option 2) to the nearest dollar. Round all other answers to two decimal places where applicable. 1) Find the net present value of option 1: Payments (Cost) P/Y = Sale of equipment (Residual) Round the answers to NPV (Option 1), and NPV (Option 2) to the nearest dollar.
