The cost of a fence that can detect poacher intru­sion into a National Wildlife Preserve is $3 mil­lion per mile. If the effective life of the fence is 10 years, determine the equivalent annual cost of a 10-mile long fence at an interest rate of 8% per year.

What will be an ideal response?


A = 3,000,000(10)(A/P,8%,10)
= 30,000,000(0.14903)
= $4,470,900
