A manager wants to compare between two alternatives by the B/C method; if the overall B/C ratio for both alternatives is calculated to be exactly 1.0, which alternative should the manager select? Select one: a. do nothing alternative b. Select both alternatives c. Select the alternative that has the higher cost d. Select the alternative based on the probability to occur

A county will invest $4,200,000 to clean up a chemical spill that occurred following a natural disaster. At the end of the 9-year planning horizon, an additional $1,000,000 will be spent in restoring the site to an environmentally acceptable condition. The investment is expected to produce net annual benefits that will decrease by 29% each year. The net annual public benefit in the 1st year is estimated to be $2,300,000. Determine the B/C ratio for the investment using a 4% MARR. Click here to access the TVM Factor Table calculator. B/C= Carry all interim calculations to 5 decimal places and then round your final answer to 3 decimal places. The tolerance is ±0.003.

Two relatively inexpensive alternatives are available for reducing potential earthquake damage at a top secret government research site. The cash flow estimates for each alternative are given below. At an interest rate of 8% per year, use the B/C ratio method to determine which one should be selected Use a 20-year study period, and assume the damage costs would occur in the middle of the study period, that is, in year 10. Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Initial cost, $ 600,000 1,100,000 Annual maintenance, $/year 50,000 70,000 Potential damage costs, $ 950,000 250,000

The following data is provided for a PPP project. To the People Benefits Disbenefits $140,000 per year beginning now $55,000 per year Cost Savings Calculate the conventional benefit/cost ratios using an interest rate of 6% per year and an infinite project period. The conventional B/C ratio is To the Government $1.8 million now and $200,000 every 3 years $95,000 per year

The benefits associated with a nuclear power plant cooling water filtration project located on the Ohio River are $12,000 per year forever, starting in year 1. The costs are $25,000 in year O and $25,000 at the end of year 2. At /= 10% per year, calculate the B/C ratio to determine if the project is justified economically. The B/C ratio will be [ The project is economically [justifed

The B/C ratio for a mosquito control program proposed by the Harris County Department of Health is reported to be 2.1. The person who prepared the report stated that the annual health benefits were estimated to be $400,000, and that disbenefits of $25,000 per year were used in the calculation. He also stated that the costs for chemicals, machinery, maintenance, and labor were estimated at $150,000 per year, but he forgot to list the cost for initiating the program (trucks, pumps, tanks, etc.). If the initial cost was amortized over a 10-year period at 8% per year, what is the estimated initial cost?

It asks for modified B/C ratio.

The following data is provided for a PPP project.     To the People   To the Government Benefits $145,000 per year beginning now Cost $1.8 million now and $200,000 every 3 years Disbenefits $25,000 per year Savings $105,000 per year     Calculate the conventional benefit/cost ratios using an interest rate of 9% per year and an infinite project period.

I submitted the following question already once and recieved a response from an expert that it was incomplete.  This is not true as it is straight out of the book.  Please review the question again. Question: Use the B/C method to compare four mutually exclusive alternatives for recycling plastic bottles. Make any additional calculations necessary to determine which alternative should be selected.
