Problem
Under pressure to "complete" a road project, the bike path that goes with it is being postponed. Doing it now would cost $35,800. Instead, it will be included in the transportation improvement program package that is now being assembled. Because of the state and federal budget cycles, the bike path will be built 3 years from now. The expected cost of doing it then is $68,000. What is the implied interest rate for postponing the bike path?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
