The federal government is considering three sites in the National Wildlife Preserve for mineral extraction. The cash flows (in millions) associated with each site are given below. Use the B/C method to determine which site, if any, is best, if the extraction period is limited to 5 years and the interest rate is 10% per year. Site A Initial cost, $ Annual cost, $/year Annual benefits, $/year Annual disbenefits, $/year 50 3 20 0.5 Site B 90 4 29 1.5 Site C 200 6 61 2.1

A project being consider by a local government has the following estimated benefit – cost data - $1000 investment for the first 2 years and then recurring cost of $5000 for the coming 2 years and $8000 for year 5& 6 respectively. Also there are benefits of $20,000, $30,000, $ 30,000 and $20,000 starting from the third year. Consider the interest rate to be 10%, design an optimal solution to perform cost-benefit analysis and conclude if the project is suitable or not.

A proposal to reduce traffic congestion on Jounieh Highway has a B/C ratio of 1.4. The annual worth of benefits minus disbenefits is $560,000. What is the first cost of the project if the interest rate is 5% per year and the project is expected to be perpetual?* 4,000,000 4,588,208 8,000,000 6,666,667

A city tnat operates automobile parking facilities is evaluating a proposal to erect and operate a structure for parking in its downtown area. Three designs for a facility to be built on available sites have been identified as follows, where all dollar figures are in thousands: Design A Design B Design C Cost of site $240 $180 $200 Cost of building $2,200 $700 $1,400 Annual fee collection $830 $750 $600 Annual maintenance cost $410 $360 $310 Service life 30 years 30 years 30 years At the end of the estimated service life, the selected facility would be torn down and the land would be sold. It is estimated that the proceeds from the resale of the land will be equal to the cost of clearing the site. If the city's interest rate is known to be 10%, which design alternative would be selected on the basis of the benefit-cost criterion?
