III.A state highway department is planning the construction of a 50 mile, four-lanetoll road. It estimates that the construction cost (t = 0) will be $200M and annualmaintenance costs will be $IM per year. In addition, every 20 years, a major resurfacingwill have to be carried out at a cost of $25M. It is estimated that 6 million cars and 400,000trucks will use the road cach year, and it is decided that the toll charged to a truck will be4 times that of a car. The interest rate is 7%.IDetermine what the toll should be for each car and truck to cover all expenses for a planningperiod of 40 years. Assume the toll being charged and the estimated traffic flows do notvary year-to-year.

Construction cost = $200,000,000PV of maintenance cost =10000000.007=$14285714 for perpetuity PV of…

A 40km gravel surfaced road on a reasonably good alignment, is now carrying an annual average daily traffic of 100 vehicles (10% trucks). The traffic is expected to grow at an annual rate of 5% compounded (for each road type and all vehicles). The minimum attractive rate of return is 10% per annum. It is proposed to pave the road with minor reconstruction and the rest of the project details are shown in Table 1 below. Determine the benefits and costs after the year of paving
