Problem
A new toll bridge is to be constructed over the Green River at a cost of $120M. The bridge requires maintenance costing $4000 annually over its 50-year life. Every 10 years, the bridge will require repainting at a cost of $1M. The value to motorists using this bridge is estimated to be $1.60 per trip. If the interest rate is 10% and 25,000 vehicles per day travel over the bridge, how much toll should be charged for each crossing? Rounding that toll up to the nearest nickel, what is the consumers' surplus?
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.
