A state government is considering construction of a flood


A state government is considering construction of a flood control dike having a life span of 12 years. History indicates that a flood occurs every four years, on average, and causes $500,000 in damages on each occasion. If the state uses a MARR of 12 percent per year and expects every public works project to have a benefit-cost ratio of at least 1.0, what is the maximum investment (to the nearest whole dollar) that will be allowed for the dike? (Do not enter the dollar sign $ with your answer.)
