o Installation period: 1 week
Tile
o Installation cost: $50 per square (10-foot by 10-foot area)
o Lifecycle: 40 years

• Create the 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you describe tradeoffs between lifecycle and first cost analyses in terms of risk and cost.

• Explain the tradeoff between lifecycle and first cost analyses for each option. Which choice is best? Why? How do reactive, planned, preventive, corrective, and predictive maintenance activities factor into your decision?
