NPV Approximation using Annuities

Annuities, Capital Recovery Factor (CRF) = 0.1023 Investment = Installed Cost - Debt Principal - IBI - CBI
Investment $0 Sum: Expenses = Operating Costs + Debt Payments
Expenses $-1,300 $300 Savings = Tax Deductions + PBI
Savings $400 NPV = Sum / CRF: Energy value = Tax Adjusted Net Savings
Energy value $1,100 $3,000 Nominal discount rate = 9.06%
