Explanation of Solution

Time period is denoted by n and the interest is denoted by i. Benefit cost ratio (BC)can be calculated as follows.

BC=Annual receiptAnnual expenseInvestment(i(1+i)n(1+i)n1)Salvage value(i(1+i)n1)=100,00050,000200,000(0.15(1+0.15)10(1+0.15)101)10,000(0.15(1+.15)101)=1.27   

The benefit cost ratio is 1.27. Since the BC value is greater than 1, it is acceptable project.
