Extracted text: The Oklahoma City Zoo has proposed adding to their Web site a major segment providing a virtual tour of the grounds and animals, suitable for both routine enjoyment and educational purposes in classrooms. Survey data indicate that this will have either a neutral or positive effect upon actual zoo attendance. The Web site will be professionally done and have an initial cost of $325,000. Upkeep, refreshing the videos, and developing videos for scientific research and entertainment will cost another $80,000 per year. The zoo is expected to be in operation for an indefinite period; however, a study period of only 10 years for the Web site is to be assumed, with only a residual (salvage) value of 560,000 for the archival value being anticipated. Interest is 7%. An estimated 100,000 persons will visit the e-zoo in the first year, increasing by 30,000 each year, and they will receive, on the average, an additional 50.80 of benefit per visit when the new area is complete. Determine the benefit-cost ratio. A) 0.68 B) 1.64 C) 1.43 D) 0.97 E) 1.06
