Astrоtа Aerоspаce is deciding between twо solаr energy production systems that will bring their plant in compliance with new environmental regulations for government contractors. The Wellspring system costs $[NCSx],000,000, has a twenty-year life, and requires $[COSTx],000 in pretax annual operating costs. Management at Astrota assumes that the solar energy mandate will be renewed in perpetuity (so the Wellspring will be replaced at the end of twenty years). Astrota's tax rate is 21 percent and the appropriate discount rate for a government mandate is [rx] percent. Calculate the equivalent annual cost of the Wellspring system. Enter your answer as a number of dollars, round to the nearest dollar AND enter it as a positive amount, since this is a cost not a cash flow.
