"C_o=\\$15,000, CF=\\$2,000, C=4,000" will reduce utility costs by 1000 annually, r=7%, t=50 years.The present value of the investment in the system will be calculated using the formula:

"NPV=-C_O+\\frac{C_1}{(1+R)}+....+\\frac{C_n}{(1+r)^n}"

"NPV=-15000+\\frac{2000}{1.07}+\\frac{2000}{1.07^2}+\\frac{2000}{1.07^3}+\\frac{2000}{1.07^4}+\\frac{2000}{1.07^5}-\\frac{4000}{1.07^5}+\\frac{1000}{1.07^6}+...+\\frac{1000}{1.07^{50}}=\\$188.19"
