GROUP A

Investment cost
=15000000/ (1+0.06)10
=15000000/(1.06)10
=15000000/1.79
=$8,379,888per year
Benefit = $1,500,000 per year
Disbenefit = $200,000 per year
M&O cost = $500,000 per year

Net Benefits= 1,500,000-200,000=1300000


Net Cost=8,379,888+500,000=8,879,888
B/C=1300000/8,879,888=0.15
As B/C <1
The project is not economically justified
Alternate Solution
B – C = (1,500,000 – 200,000) – (8,379,888+500,000) = $ -7.5 million as (B-C)<0
The project is not economically justified
