The general city population is set to benefit in travel-time savings from a municipal road project amounting to $14,095,000. The local government will incur an initial spending of $11,500,000 and an annual operating and maintenance cost of $400,000. This new road will cut back the need for annual maintenance on other roads by $150,000. Considering an interest rate of 5%, how many years will it take for this project to break even?

A city is planning a new pipeline to supply water from distant mountains. The planning horizon chosen is 50 years, and the city uses an interest rate of 7%. For $250 million, the city can build a pipeline now that would supply its needs for 50 years, or it could build the project in two stages: $150 million now and $200 million in Year 25. Annual operation and maintenance for the first stage of the two-stage project are $3.0 million through Year 25 followed by $6.0 million for the combined first and second stage project after Year 25 and through Year 50. a) Form the cash flow table for the two alternatives and the incremental investment, showing the correct signs for all entries. b) Using present worth analysis, determine the best project. c) Using annual cash flow analysis, determine the best project. d) Using the incremental rate of return analysis, determine the best project.
