At the end of year 4, the array willbe expanded to 100% capacity, at a cost of $900,000. After theexpansion, operating costs will become $350,000 per year.Option B is to build a full-scale solar thermal electricgeneration plant now at a cost of $1.5 million, with end-of-yearoperating costs of $250,000.Which option should be chosen?
