Capitalized Cost (CC) — Permanent Alternatives = Capitalized Cost (CC): the present worth of an alternative that will last “forever”. Some examples are: » Public sector projects Bridges Dams.

Draw a cash-flow diagram showing all nonrecurring costs and at least two cycles of all recurring (periodic) costs and receipts. . Find the present worth of all nonrecurring amounts. . Find the equivalent annual worth through one life cycle of all recurring amounts and add this to all other uniform amounts occurring in years | through infinity. This results in a total equivalent uniform annual worth (AW). . Divide AW obtained in step 3 by the interest rate i to get its capitalized cost. . Add the CC values obtained in steps 2 and 4. Capitalized Cost (CC) Example 5.5 Find the capitalized cost of an infinite series of annual payments equal to $10,000 using an interest rate of 8% compounded annually. Solution: A = 10,000 and i = 0.08. CC = 10,000/0.08 = $125,000. Note: 10,000 (PIA,8%, 100) = $124,043 “> this value is approaching the limit of $125,000\ > Lbs nee TUT A« Elo,ve?
