The environmental protection agency of a county would like to preserve a piece of land as a wilderness area. The current owner h

as offered to lease the land to the county for 20 years in return for a lump-sum payment of $1.1 million, which would be paid at the beginning of the 20-year period. The agency has estimated that the land would generate $110,000 per year in benefits to hunters, bird watchers, and hikers. Assume that the lease price represents the social opportunity cost of the land and that the appropriate real discount rate is 4 percent.a. Assuming that the yearly benefits, which are measured in real dollars, accrue at the end of each of the 20 years, calculate the net benefits of leasing the land.b. Some analysts in the agency argue that the annual real benefits are likely to grow at a rate of 2 percent per year due to increasing population and county income. Recalculate the net benefits assuming that they are correct.c. Imagine that the current owner of the land was willing to sell the land for $2 million. Assuming this amount equaled the social opportunity cost of the land, calculate the net benefits if the county were to purchase the land as a permanent wildlife refuge. In making these calculations, first assume a zero annual growth rate in the $110,000 of annual real benefits; then assume that these benefits grow at a rate of 2 percent per year.

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Here , we are going to apply the present value of annuty formula.

a. Social Opportunity cost = $1.1 Million

The Yearly cash flows = $110,000

Time (n) = 20 years

The Discount rate (R) = 4%

Net benefits= Present value of cash inflows - the intial socail opportnity cost

Net benefits= Yearly cash flow × (1 - 1/(1+R)^n) / R - 1100000

Net benefits = 110000 × (1 - 1/1.04^20)/0.04 - (1100000)

= $394936

b. We will use the formula for present value of an annuity with the growth rate in benefits as 2 percent.

Firstly, dg= (0.04 - 0.02)/ (1+0.02)

= 0.01961

PV(benefits) = [($110,000)÷ (1+0.02)][1-(1+dg)-20]/dg]

= $1,770,045

NPV = $1,770,045 - $1,100,000= $670,045
