A project costs 10 this year, has a benefit of 5 this year, and has a benefit of 6 next year. (a) Assuming that the interest rate is r= 1, what is the present value (sum of the dis- counted benefits minus costs) of the project? (b) For what value of interest rate r, the present value of the project will be exactly equal to zero?

A firm based in and owned by investors in Northern province is considering a project in nearby Southern province that has discounted net benefits and costs, at market prices before tax, of $10,000 and $7,000 respectively. (Included in these costs are wages of $4,000.) If the project goes ahead, company tax with a present value of $2,000 will be paid to the government of...

Problem Set 7 Cost-Benefit Analysis 1.) The Los Angeles area has long been plagued by urban smog. Suppose that one of several ozone-reducing policy options is being evaluated by economists using benefit-cost analysis. a. Since the policy will be implemented over time, economists assume that per resident benefits will accrue in increments of $500 (in real terms) at the end of each of the next three years. Find the present value of benefits (PVB) in nominal terms for each resident,...

Benefit-Cost Analysis Table Road Project Analysis Government XYZ is considering the addition of a tool road segment to the regional road system. The projected costs and benefits for it has been estimated and converted into monetary units. The resulting data is outlined in the Table below. Furthermore, the discount rate has been determined to be 7% based on the entity’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC). Based on a benefit-cost analysis, determine whether this “pilot project” will provide a net...

A cost-benefit analysis of an irrigation project shows that the ratio of the discounted present value of benefits to costs is less than one. This implies that: a. the net benefit of the project is positive. b. the net benefit of the project is negative efficiency can be attained by undertaking the project. d. the project will redistribute income to the poor. QUESTION 6 A lower discount rate favors more capital-intensive investments that yield net benefits further into the future....

(6) THINKING ABOUT COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS. When evaluating how much to invest on a project the typical Present Value (PV) formula is used where R is the discount rate, Bt is the benefit, and Ct is cost the associated with the project in year t, and n is the number of years associated with the project a. What is the PV of $1 today? In one year (say March 30, 2017), what is the PV of $1 at b. Suppose that...

Problem 09.010 Benefit/Cost Analysis of a Single Project The estimated annual cash flows for a proposed municipal government project are costs of $710,000 per year, benefits of $910,000 per year, and disbenefits of $160,000 per year. Calculate the conventional B/C ratio at an interest rate of 12% per year, and determine if it is economically justified. The B/C ratio is The project is economically (Click to select) A

Problem 09.010 Benefit/Cost Analysis of a Single Project The estimated annual cash flows for a proposed municipal government project are costs of $800,000 per year, benefits of $910,000 per year, and disbenefits of $230,000 per year. Calculate the conventional B/C ratio at an interest rate of 9% per year, and determine if It is economically justified. The B/C ratio is The project is economically not justified

Which of the following statements is TRUE of a cost-benefit analysis of a potential government project? a. Neither asset value increases to the property owners nor income increases to the property owners should be counted. b. Future costs and benefits should be discounted to present values before being compared. C. The net increase in jobs in a community is a benefit d. Both asset value increases to the property owners and income increases to the property owners should be counted....
