(Chapter 6) Suppose a project at your office five years from now will generate costs and benefits over two years: the year in which the project starts (year 0) and the following year (year 1). Benefits will be $1,000 in year 0 and $800 in year 1, while costs will be $150 in year 0 and S1,500 in year 1. Let the discount rate equal 3% (or 0.03). Please derive the present values for costs and benefits, and determine if benefits exceed costs for this project. Then, please explain in the form of a one-act play some of the main ideas in Dr. Harcourt's article on the history and methodology of cost-benefit analysis to someone in your office who has not studied this material previously.
