Question 1 (10 pts) A government is considering paving a highway with a newly developed "wear-proof" material. Paving the highway would cost $4 billion today, but it would save $400 million in maintenance costs for each of the next 10 years. Use the concept of present value to determine whether the project is worth undertaking if the government can borrow at an interest rate of 4%. Is it worth it if the interest rate is...

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

disbenefits every year with a life of 5 years. Project 2 costs E initially, cost Fevery year, generates G benefits every year and H disbenefits every year with a life of 6 years. Project 3 costs I initially, costs J every year, generates K benefits every year and L disbenefits every year with a life of 10 years. Use an annual rate of R to conduct Incremental B/C ratio analyses to select one of the alternatives. "Do Nothing" is not...

4(b) A 3-km stretch of highway is known locally as "Fog Hollow". In an attempt to reduce accidents, the shoulders along Fog Hollow could be widened and paved at a cost of S0.35 million per km, and large dynamic message signs could be installed at both ends of the dangerous stretch. The signs would be controlled by a computer connected to sensing devices to display recommended speeds for various fog conditions. The fog warning signs could be installed for $200,000....
