However, running budget deficits becomes hard when very large debts are outstanding. a.

Question 2: Evaluation of Public Expenditure The government has to choose between two different projects:1. Project 1 is organized in six years; the flows happen at the end of each period. It costs 100000, incurring immediately, and yields a return of 50000 for the first three years; in the fourth year, it yields a return of 50000, but the government has to sustain a cost of 20000 in order to make some necessary innovations to the structure of the plan; in the fifth year, it is able to generate a positive return of 60000, while in the last year the revenue is of 50000, but there is a cost of 10000 to close the project. The government assumes that, for the first four years, the discount rate should be 10%, while it is more appropriate to consider a discount rate of 15% in the last two years. 2. Project 2 is organized in four years; the flows happen at the beginning of each period. It costs 50000, incurring immediately, and yields a return of 35000 for the first three years; in the…
Y8 Analysis on the perceived occurrence of challenges delaying the delivery of water infrastructure assets in South AfricaIntroductionInfrastructure development is of paramount importance for a sustainable economy that is competitive and productive. However, inflexible government’s fiscal policies, high budget deficits and lack of debt reduction strategies experienced by the public sector directly affect infrastructure development (Ruiters and Matji, 2015). The public sector experiences challenges of provisioning for public infrastructure assets. There are many challenges delaying infrastructure development. The study explored infrastructure backlog and deficits as alarming challenges to adequately fund and deliver water infrastructure assets in South Africa. Kudumela (2015) outlines challenges of infrastructure development: insufficient skills capacity at the municipal level, lack of funding, political instability and corruption, while Senyakoe (2011) indicates that municipalities…
