A state-sponsored Forest Management Bureau is evaluating alternative routes for a new road into a formerly inaccessible region. Three mutually exclusive plans for routing the road provide different benefits, as indicated in table below. The roads are assumed to have an economic life of 50 years, and MARR is 10% per year, which route should be selected according to the B-C ratio method?
