The annual fuel savings for a factory is 1000 gallons of fuel. Fuel costs are expect to rise 2.5% a year, the current cost of a gallon of fuel is $100. The best estimate of the annual inflation-free interest rate (i’) is 6%. If the factory’s remaining useful life is 15 years, calculate the present worth of the total fuel savings using actual dollar analysis?
The fuel savings are as below
