All other operational costs, maintenance and other expenses would add up to $2,000 a year. Thus, in the first year, total cost would be $100,000 and, in the following years, $2,000 a year. On the other hand, a gas station is expected to generate a higher revenue, $15,000 a year. Both projects are supposed to last 20 years. A template of revenue and costs is presented below.
