There are two potential locations to construct an urgent care walk-in clinic to serve rural residents. Use B/C analysis to determine which location, if any, is better at an interest rate of 8% per year. (Note: See Problem 9.55 for more on this analysis.)

Data from problem 9.55

Rank by increasing total cost: DN, 1, 2

Location 1 vs. DN: B/C = 1.66 Conclusion: eliminate DN
Location 2 vs.1: ΔB/C = 0.50 Conclusion: select location 1
