    Each bulb and the labor to install it costs

    ... $6.95 + $3 = $9.95

    100 bulbs and 10 years totals (100*10) = 1000 bulb·years. For the price of $9.95, you purchase 5 bulb·years, so the total cost for 1000 bulb·years is

    ... (1000 b·y) * ($9.95 / (5 b·y)) = $1990

    Over a 10-year period, installation and replacement of 200 bulbs in 100 lamps will cost $1990. Then the per-year cost is ...

    ... $1990 / (10 yr) = $199/yr
