Question 4 Table 3 Overall cost of a construction project General Cost Value Initial investment $10,000 Construction cost of A $20,000 Construction cost of B $6,000 Annual operation & maintenance cost for A $7,000 Market value $5,000 Evaluate the feasibility of the project noted in Table 3 at MARR = 10% (i%) in utilizing the BC-ratio approach based on the following considerations, taking N=10 years: i. In considering the benefit only if the annual benefit is $2,000 (5 marks) ii. In considering both the benefit ($2,000) and disbenefit ($5,000) (5 marks) Page 3 of 4 Question 5 Based on Q4, if it is found that the project is indeed feasible today (BC21.0), however, ten (10) years, from now, it is expected that the project will no longer be feasible (BC<1.0) and would result in catastrophic damage to the environment. As an engineer, what would be your decision today? Elaborate on your decision making (e.g. justification based on calculations, reasoning, and/or other method). (10 marks)
