Question
The cost of grading and spreading gravel on a curvy rural road is expected to be
$300,000. The road will have to be maintained at a cost of $25,000 per year. Even though
the new road is not very smooth, it allows access to an area that previously could only be
reached with off-road vehicles. The improved accessibility has led to a 150% increase in
the property values along the road. If the previous market value of the property was
$900,000, calculate the conventional B/C ratio using an interest
rate of 6% per year and a 20-year study period.
