Problem 09.020 Benefit/Cost Analysis of a Single Project A consultant, after 3 months of work, reported that the modified B/C ratio for a city-owned hospital heliport project is 2. If the initial cost is $1.9 million and the annual benefits are $115,000, what is the amount of the annual M&O costs used in the calculation? The report stated that a discount rate of 7% per year and an estimated life of 30 years were used. Having much difficulty with this...
Question 10 (10 points) The modified B/C ratio is 1.7. The initial cost is $800,000, annual benefits are $130,000/year, and the estimated life is 30 years. What is the amount of the annual maintenance and operating cost used in the calculation at a discount rate of 6%.
A federal highway project is expected to have a first cost of $5 million and an annual maintenance cost of S200,000. Shoulder replacement costs of $1,000,000 will be required in 10 years. Benefits to the road-users are expected to be $800,000 per year. If the project will have a 20 year life, please calculate the modified B/C ratio. Is the public project worth undertaking? Why (not)? Hint: Modified B/C ratio: (Benefits-Disbenefits-M&O Costs)/Initial Investment 3)
3. (16) Find and report the standard or traditional B/C ratio for each project below using an interest rate of 7.0% if required. Projects are not substitutes for each other so no comparison analysis is required.
