Editing 22) Evaluation of capital budgeting projects with different lives The city of Baltimore is considering a purchase of LED Christmas lights for the city's Christmas tree. Each string of 500 LED Christmas lights will cost the city $50, will have a life expectancy of 10 years, and use $20 worth of electricity per year. The city currently uses the old-fashioned incandescent Christmas lights that cost only $5 per string of 300 lights, but the city has to replace them annually and each string uses $50 worth of electricity per year. The city asked you to assess the costs and benefits of this project.

Note, the city requires that you present financial evidence to support your recommendation Focus
