Suppose you are considering a project has an initial cost of $750 that has an ongoing benefit of $275. Further, there is an ongoing cost that is equal to $90, which increases by $10 each year. Assume the project lasts 6 years. If the appropriate discount rate is 5.5%. Calculate: a) the Net Present Value = $ 57.07 b) the Benefit Cost Ratio = c) should the project be accepted or rejected? Explain your answer using the information from part a) and b). Answer = (accept/reject) Provide your answers to two decimal places. Do not include any commas (,) "$" or
