A medium-size municipality plans to develop a software system to assist in project selection during the next 10 years. A life-cycle cost approach has been used to categorize costs into development, programming, operating, and support costs for each alternative. There are three alternatives under consideration, identified as A (tailored system), B (adapted system), and C (current system). Use an annual life-cycle cost approach to identify the best alternative at 8% per year.
