Question
A pipeline engineer working in Kuwait for the oil giant BP wants to perform a present worth analysis on alternative pipeline routings—the first predominately by land and the second primarily undersea. The undersea route is more expensive initially due to extra corrosion protection and installation costs, but cheaper security and maintenance reduces annual costs. Use Present Worth Analysis with a MARR = 10% to determine which route should be selected.
