    The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year by lighting sstem is $8164.67.

    Explanation:

    The CO2 requirement for the plant is:

    Amount of CO2 per year = (2.4 lb / KWh) (300,000 KWh)

    Amount of CO2 per year = (720000 lb) (1 ton / 2204.62 lb)

    Amount of CO2 per year = 326.59 ton

    The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year will then be:

    Economic Impact = ($25 / ton) (326.59 ton)

    Economic Impact = $8164.67
