LED lights bulbs typically cost $3.50, have a life of 9 years, and use about $1.60 of electricity a year.
Conventional light bulbs are cheaper to buy, for they cost only $.50.
On the other hand, they last only about a year and use about $6.60 of energy.
If the real discount rate is 5%, what is the cost of the two products over 9 years? Which one is better cost-wise?
