Question
Jack and Jill's Place is a nonprofit nursery school run by the parents of the enrolled children. Since the school is out of town, it has a
well rather than a city water supply. Lately, the well has become unreliable, and the school has had to bring in bottled drinking water.
The school's governing board is considering drilling a new well (at the top of the hill, naturally). The board estimates that
new well
would cost $2,458 and save the school $400 annually for 10 years. The school's hurdle rate is 9 percent.
Use Appendix A for your reference. (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
