    Between 1.00 to 1.20

    Explanation:

    Annual Cost = 2 per year

    Benefits = 9 per year

    Dis benefits = 0.6 per year

    Life = 10 years

    Interest Rate = 6%

    Calculate the conventional benefit cost ratio.

    Conventional Benefit Cost Ratio Using Present Worth Method.

    B/C Ratio = PW of Benefits - PW of Dis benefits : PW of initial cost + PW of annual cost

    PW of Benefits = 9 (P/A, 6%, 10)

    PW of Benefits = 9 (7.3601) = 66.24

    PW of Dis benefits = 0.6 (P/A, 6%, 10)

    PW of Dis benefits = 0.6 (7.3601) = 4.42

    PW of initial cost = 20 (P/A, 6%, 4) - 5 (P/G, 6%, 5)

    PW of initial cost = 20 (3.4651) - 5 (4.9455) = 44.57

    PW of annual Cost = 2 (P/A, 6%, 10)

    PW of annual Cost = 2 (7.3601) = 14.72

    Calculate Conventional Benefit Cost Ratio

    B/C Ratio = (66.24 - 4.42) : (44.57 + 14.72)

    B/C Ratio = 61.82 : 59.29

    B/C Ratio = 1.04

    Answer - Between 1.00 to 1.20
