reatment plant is to be constructed in Washington County. The initial installation will cost $40 million (M). After 10 years, minor repair and renovation (R&R) will occur at a cost of $10M will be required; after 20 years, a major R&R costing $22M will be required. The investment pattern will repeat every 20 years. Each year during the 20-year period, operating and maintenance (O&M) costs will occur. The first year, O&M costs will total $2M. Thereafter, O&M costs will increase at a compound rate of 4% per year. Based on a 4% MARR, what is the capitalized cost for the solid waste treatment plant? Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to a whole number. The tolerance is ±25,000.
