A dam will have a first cost of $5,000,000, an annual maintenance cost of $25,000 and minor reconstruction costs of $100,000 every five years. At an interest rate of 8% per year, the capitalized cost of the dam is nearest to:

A thick concrete road pavement will costs $250,000, which would last indefinitely. Every end of 3 years, $20,000 will be spend for minor repairs. Determine the capitalized cost of the pavement. Assume an interest rate of 8%.
An investment with an initial outlay of R500 000 generates five successive annual cash inflows of R75 000, R190 000, R40 000, R150 000 and R180 000 respectively. The cost of capital K is 10% per annum. The net present value (NPV) is approximately
