The decision to build the park or not would be based solely
on the cost – benefit relationship of this project. Since there is no other
factor considered in this problem, you only need to see if the benefit of
constructing the park would exceed its cost. In this problem, the cost to
construct the park is $20,000 while the marginal benefit would be $24,000
($8,000 x 3 families that can benefit from this project). Therefore, you can

park should be built because it benefits the families living in that area more
than its cost.
