A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus isnonrival andnonexcludable . Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good. Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $61,110. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 2,240 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $20. The benefit of the beautification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is . Because the estimated benefit is than the cost, the college administrators undertake the beautification initiative. The calculation of the benefit of…
The city council is to decide on a proposal to raise property taxes. Suppose Ms. Tuttle is the chair and the council’s other two members are Mr. Jones and Mrs. Doubtfire. The voting procedure works as follows: Excluding the chair, Mr. Jones and Mrs. Doubtfire simultaneously write down their votes on slips of paper. Each writes either for or against the tax increase. The secretary of the city council then opens the slips of paper and announces the vote tally. If the secretary reports that both slips say for, then the tax increase is implemented and the game is over. If both vote against, then the tax increase is not implemented and, again, the game is over. However, if it is reported that the vote is one for and one against, then Ms. Tuttle has to vote. If she votes for, then the tax increase is implemented, and if she votes against, then it is not. In both cases, the game is then over. As to payoffs, if the tax increase is implemented, then Mrs. Doubtfire and Mr. Jones each receive a…

a manager is trying to decide whether to buy one machine or two. If only one is purchased and demand proves to be excessive, the second machine can be purchased later. some sales will be lost, however, because the lead time will be lower if both are purchased at the same time. the probability of low demand is estimated to be 0.20. the after- tax net present value of the benefits from purchasing the two machines together is $90,000 if demand is low and $180,000 if demand is high. if one machine is purchased and demand is low, the net present value is $120,000. if demand is high, the manager has 3 options. doing nothing has a net present value of $120,000, subcontracting $160,000, and buying the second machine, $140,000. a. draw a decision tree for this probelm b how many machines should the company buy initially? what is the expected payoff for this alternative?
Stan Moneymaker has been informed of a major automobile manufacturer’s plan to conserve on gasoline consumption through improved engine design. The idea is called “engine displacement,” and it works by switching from 8-cylinder operation to 4-cylinder operation at approximately 40 miles per hour. Engine displacement allows enough power to accelerate from a standstill and to climb hills while also permitting the automobile to cruise at speeds over 40 miles per hour with little loss in driving performance. The trade literature studied by Stan makes the claim that the engine displacement option will cost thecustomer an extra $1,200 on the automobile’s sticker price. This option is expected to save 4 miles per gallon (an average of in-town and highway driving). Aregular 8-cylinder engine in the car that Stan is interested in buying gets an average of 20 miles per gallon of gasoline. If Stan drives approximately 1,200 miles per month, how many months of ownership will be required to make…

The implementation phase of the project cycle primarily involves the commitment of funds into the project. Identify and explain four sources of funding a public rail transport project. Carefully distinguish between Pareto Optimality and Pareto Improvement as used in welfare economics. Most project analysts assert that the identification phase is perhaps the most important phase of a project cycle. With the help of practical example(s), explain how a project could be identified via the market.

Question Management of AG Travel and Tour has identified two groups of individuals thatwould be interested in the vacation package consisting of room and board and/orentertainment. The maximum amount that group 1 is willing to pay for room andboard is GHC 2500 and for entertainment is GHC 500. For group 2, the maximumamount they are willing to pay for room and board is GHC 1800 and forentertainment is GHC 750. Although AG Travel and Tour is not able to identifymembers of either group, it does know that each group values the components ofthe package differently. Assuming there are an equal number of members in eachgroup and that the total membership in each group is a single individual. If themarginal cost of providing the service (room and board and/or entertainment) toeach group is GHC 1000. i. How much will the hotel charge members of each group for the vacationpackage if it could identify the members in each group?ii. How much will the profit for AG Travel and Tour be? iii. Since AG…
Which of the following is FALSE regarding scenario and sensitivity analysis? Scenario analysis considers a best case (within reason) and worst case (within reason) scenario, along with a base case. Scenario analysis focuses on stand-alone risk, since it doesnt;s consider the project as a part of the larger firm. Sensitivity analysis considers that the project is one part of a larger firm Sensitivity analysis shows how changes in a single variable affects NPV or IRR Scenario analysis assumes all variables take their worst (reasonable) values simultaneously, and best (reasonable) values simultaneously.
