The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers is considering the economic viability of constructing a small flood control dam in an existing arroyo. The initial cost of the project will be $4.2 million, with in-spection and upkeep costs of $10,000 per year. In addition, minor reconstruction will be required ev-ery 15 years at a cost of $165,000. If flood damage will be reduced from the present cost of $330,000 per year to $22,000 annually, calculate the conven-tional benefit to cost ratio to determine if the dam should be constructed. Assume that the dam will be permanent and the discount rate is 8% per year.
