A Los Angeles utility needs to decide whether to invest 5 billion dollars to build a new power plant in 1995. Its current plants produce a total of 5400 Megawatts (MW) of electricity. The actual peak electrical demand of the Los Angeles area since 1980 is shown below.

Actual Peak
YearDemand (MW)
1980 4,069
1981 4,364
1982 4,456
1983 4,445
1984 4,882
