Solution:-
The formula for B/C ration is as follows:
B/C = (PW of B – PW of D)/(PW of C – PW of S)
Where,
B is benefits
D is disbenefits
C is cost
S is salvage value
Conventional Vs Solar alternative:
Calculate the incremental B/C ratio as follows:
ΔB/C = (575,000 – 11,000)/2,700,000 (A/P, 8%,5) -230,000 (A/P, 8%,5)
= (564,000)/2,700,000(.2505) – 230,000(.2505)
=564,000 / 676,350 – 57,615
=564,000/618,735
=.91
The B/C ratio is .91
As, the B/C ratio is less than the 1, so, select the smaller cost alternative i.e. Conventional method which is the final selection

5 Questions 4 through 7 are based on the following statement: 1 tually exclusive alternatives, A and B, are to be evaluated by the rate of return (ROR) method. The initial Investment for alternative B is greater than that of alternative A. If the overall ROR of alternative A is less than the MARR and the overall rate of return of alternative B is greater than the MARR, then: A) Alternative B should be compared incrementally to alternative A.
