University needs your help in doing some economic analysis for a facilities improvement project. The initial construction cost is $10,000,000. Routine maintenance cost is expected to be $200,000 per year. Based on the estimated usage of the facilities, University has determined that $1,000,000 will be needed every 10 years for major maintenance of the buildings in addition to the routine maintenance.
