The department of transport will collect 5$ toll from each vehicle to recover the cost of a newly- built highway. In the first year (end of year 1), 10,000 cars are expected to use the highway followed by 4% annual increase in traffic due to the expansion of the city. Determine the equivalent present worth of this project over 20 years' time and at an interest rate of 8%?

If you are a city engineer and you know that you will need $25 million in 3 years to' replace toll booths on a toll road in the city. Traffic on the road is estimated to be 20 million vehicles per year. How much per vehicle should the toll be to cover the cost of the toll booth replacement project? Interest is 10%.

A state highway department is planning the construction of a toll road. Construction cost will be $300 million (at period = year 0). Annual maintenance is estimated to be $1 million every year from year 1 and in perpetuity. In addition, a major resurfacing will have to be carried out at the cost of $10 million every 10 years in perpetuity. MARR is 10%. It is estimated that 5 million vehicles per year will use the toll road starting in year 1 and in perpetuity, and each vehicle will pay a constant toll $T. Show the (indicative) cash flow diagram for this project. Use AW analysis to determine what breakeven constant toll $T should be charged to each vehicle to make sure benefits will be economically equivalent to costs.
A constructed bridge requires no upkeep until the end of 2 years when P60,000 will be needed for repairs. After this P90,000 will be needed for repairs at the end of each year for the next 5 years, then P190,600 at the end of each year for the next 5 years. If money is worth 13% compounded annually, what was the equivalent uniform annual cost for the 12-year period? Show complete solution and formula used. Provide cash flow diagram. Write the solution in a paper. Thank you!
