The City Engineering Department of a city submitted a proposal for improving the downtown area. They propose banning vehicular traffic on the main street and turning this street into a pedestrian mall with tree plantings and other beautification features. This proposal will involve actual costs of Php 401,600,000 and, according to its proponents, the proposal will produce benefits to the town as follows: Benefits: Increased sales tax revenue: Php 27,800,000 per year Increased real estate property taxes: Php 14,350,000 per year Benefits due to decreased air pollution: Php 5,100,000 per year Quality of life improvements to users: Php 4,300,000 per year a. Compute the B–C ratio of this plan based on a MARR of 10% per year and an infinite life for the project using AW. b. Given a disbenefit of Php 10,300,000 per year due to increased maintenance, compute for the B-C ratio given the same conditions in item a. c. How does the B–C ratio change for a 20-year project life?

Mid-Valley Industrial Extension Service, a state-sponsoredagency, provides water quality sampling services toall business and industrial firms in a 10-county region.Last month, the service purchased all necessary lab equipmentfor full in-house testing and analysis. Now, an outsourcingcompany has offered to take over this function ona per-sample basis. Data and quotes for the two optionshave been collected. The MARR for government projectsis 5% per year and a study period of 8 years is chosen.In-house: Equipment and supplies initially cost$125,000 for a life of 8 years, an AOCof $15,000, and annual salaries of$175,000. Sample costs average $25.There is no significant salvage valuefor the equipment and supplies currentlyowned.Outsourced: Cost averages $100 per sample for thefirst 5 years, increasing to $125 persample for years 6 through 8. Determine the breakeven number of tests between the two options.

Ken Allen, capital budgeting analyst for Bally Gears, Inc., has been asked to evaluate a proposal. The manager of the automotive division believes that replacing therobotics used on the heavy truck gear line will produce total benefits of $516,000 (in today's dollars) over the next 5 years. The existing robotics would produce benefits of $387,000 (also in today's dollars) over that same timeperiod. An initial cash investment of $206,400 would be required to install the new equipment. The manager estimates that the existing robotics can be sold for $72,000. Show how Ken will apply marginal cost-benefit analysistechniques to determine the following:a. The marginal benefits of the proposed new robotics.b. The marginal cost of the proposed new roboticsc. The net benefit of the proposed new robotics.
Medzyme Pharmaceuticals has maintained a 50–50 D-E mix for capital investments. Equity capital has cost 11%; however, debt capital that has historically cost 9% is now 20% higher than that. If Medzyme does not want to exceed its historical weighted average cost of capital (WACC), and it is forced to go to a D-E mix of 75–25, the maximum acceptable cost of equity capital is closest to: (a) 7.6% (b) 9.2% (c) 9.8% (d ) 10.9%
Some of the formal evaluation techniques used by engineers is Economic analysis. Such analyses attempt to compare the public benefits from such projects with the costs of providing them. Economic studies may be used to (give three uses):
