# 3 The DPWH is considering the construction of a new highway through a scenic rural area. The road is expected to costs P50M with annual upkeep estimated at P400, 000.00. The improved accessibility is expected to result in additional income from tourists of P7M per year. The road is expected to have a useful life of 25 years. If the rate of interest is 15 %, Should the road be constructed?
