A proposed building may be roofed in either composition roofing (C) or galvanized steel sheet (S). The composition roof costs $56,000 and is replaced every 5 years (assume at the same cost). The steel roof costs $68,000 but the useful life is very long. Neither roof has any salvage value, nor is maintenance needed. If the MARR is 10%, what minimum life must the steel roof have to make it the better alternative? (Report to the nearest whole year; don't bother interpolating.)

Management by Exception

A manager’s job is a very tough one. A manager needs to look at the various areas of work and as a manager he has to look after two or more important jobs or activities at the same time for the growth of the business. In order to do all these things in an effective manner, a manager must adopt or practice different management styles and tactics.
