Expert Solution
Step 1

To Find :

The capitalized cost for each.

Given :

The new bridge project is being evaluated at i=5%.

For concrete:

The construction cost is $50Million 

The annual O&M is $250,000

The life year is 70 year

For steel:

The construction cost is $50Million 

The annual O&M is $250,000

The life year is 70 year

Formula used :

The capitalized cost can be obtained as,

C.C=P+AR

Here P is present worth, R is rate,A is annual O&M.
