can someone please solve this quicky with steps????
The Water holding company is considering replacing old networks of pipelines in three different residential zones to reduce the number of pipe breaks and the associated costs, and to increase the hydraulic capacity in terms of volume of water. However, the current available budget is limited, so the company has to choose one zone to execute. The company is willing to raise the tariff of water meter to compensate the associated costs. The company's annual MARR is 10% Network zone Zone X Zone Y Zone Z Network length (Km) 10 15 25 Replacement Cost (EGP) per Km 2 million 2 million 2 million Reduction in no. of breaks per year 20 25 40 Cost of repair per break 25,000 25,000 25,000 The increase in Water meter tariff (EGP 1 1.5 2 per m' of water) Estimated increase in volume of potable water (m per year) 700,000 900,000 800,000 Reduced number of service interruptions 10 15 for the consumer (water cut off) per year 25 Monetary Value of each service 100 150 180 interruption per household Number of households 1000 1200 1500 Estimated life (years) 15 15 15 a) Preparing for a Benefit-Cost Analysis, answer the following questions: What is the annual worth of Net Costs for zones X, Y, & Z? What is the annual worth of Net Benefits for zones X, Y, & Z? What is the BC ratio for each zone X, Y, & Z, based on AW calculations? b) Using BC incremental comparison, which zone is the best alternative? .
