A new bridge connecting Tuguegarao and Solana with a 100 year life is expected to have an initial cost of $20 M. The bridge must be resurfaced every five years at a cost of $ 1 M. The annual inspection and operating costs are estimated to be $50, 000. Determine the present cost of the bridge using the capitalized equivalent approach (that is the life of the bridge as infinite), if the interest rate is 10% per compounded annually.
