The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is considering a project to extend irrigation canals into a desert area. The initial cost of the project is expected to be $1.5 million, with

annual maintenance costs of $25,000 per year. (a) If agricultural revenue is expected to be $175,000 per year, do aB/C analysis to determine whether the project should be undertaken, using a 20-year study period and a discount rate of 6% per year. (b) Rework the problem, using the modified B/C ratio.
