BENEFIT – COST RATIO
Problem 10.1
MARR = 10%/year, we calculated B-C ratio by:

We realize that B-C ratio = 0.769 < 1.
Therefore, the treatment is not economically attractive the B-C ratio measurement of
merit. Problem 10.3
a.
MARR = 8%/year, we calculated B-C ratio by:
AW(B) $400,000 + $300,000 + $50,000 + $50,000
B b.
For a 20-year project life and MARR = 10%, we calculated B-C ratio by:
AW(B) $400,000 + $300,000 + $50,000 + $50,000
B − C = = = 0.823
CR + AW(O&M) + AW(D) $7,000,000(A/P, 10%, 20) + $150,000
The proposed plan is no longer economically attractive the B-C ratio measurement of merit.
