Final answer:
The question does not provide enough information to calculate the Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) for system A as it lacks the necessary parameters such as lifespan, maintenance costs, and the discount rate. The given data seems to relate to financial and energy consumption statistics that are not directly applicable to EAC calculations.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the calculation of the Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) for system A without providing specific details or formulas to calculate the EAC. In finance, the EAC is a method used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of different assets that have different lifespans. It is calculated by dividing the net present value (NPV) of an asset's costs by the present value of annuity factor. However, the provided information appears to relate to various other financial and energy consumption statistics, which are not immediately applicable to calculating the EAC without additional context.
To calculate EAC, we would typically use the formula: EAC = NPV / PV(A), where PV(A) is the present value of an annuity factor for the asset's lifespan at a given discount rate. We need the cost of the asset, its lifespan, the expected maintenance costs over time, and the discount rate to calculate the EAC. Since the question does not give sufficient information for these parameters, we cannot confidently provide an answer to the student.
