The asphalt will cost $150 per foot, including the material and the paving operation. Due to the heavy usage expected, the asphalt is expected to last 5 years before requiring resurfacing. It is anticipated that the cost of resurfacing will remain the same per foot. Concrete drainage ditches will be installed to each side of the highway; they will each cost $7.75 per foot to install. Ditches will have to be replaced every 15 years; the cost of replacing them will also be $7.75 per foot. Four pipe culverts will be installed every mile; each culvert will cost $8,000 and will last 10 years; replacement culverts will cost $10,000 each, indefinately. Annual maintanance of the highway will cost $9,000 per mile. Cleaning each culvert will cost $1,250 per year. Cleaning and maintaining each ditch will cost $3.75 per foot per year.

While work continues on these grand challenges, conservation of energy from non-renewable sources is vital. On a practical level, installing low thermal emissivity windows (low-e windows) on buildings can contribute to energy conservation. Installing low-e windows on a small office building is estimated to cost $10,500. The windows are expected to last 9 years and have no salvage value at that time. The energy savings from the windows are expected to be $2,525 in the 1st year. After the 1st year, the savings are expected to increase by $200 each year due to escalating fossil fuel costs. MARR is 12% per year and annual worth is the preferred measure of economic worth. Part a Are the low-e windows an economically attractive investment?
