Answer:

The incremental benefit/cost ratio for Alt A is 2.15 and The incremental benefit/cost ratio for Alt B is 1.35

Explanation:

In order to calculate the incremental benefit/cost ratio for both of the two alternatives we would have to make the following calculations:

For ALT A

PV of benefits = $2,111,404 * [1-(1.06)^-75]/0.06 = $34,744,943.5

Therefore, incremental benefit cost ratio = $34,744,943.5/$16,161,644 = 2.15

The incremental benefit/cost ratio for Alt A is 2.15

For ALT B

incremental benefits = ($3,019,639 -$2,111,404) * [1-(1.06)^-75]/0.06 = $14,945,777.2

incremental benefits = $27,211,376 - $16,161,644 = $11,049,732

Therefore, incremental benefit cost ratio = $14,945,777.2/$11,049,732 = 1.35

The incremental benefit/cost ratio for Alt B is 1.35

Darya [45]

Answer:

The total spending on all final goods and services produced is equal to $154,000.

Explanation:

The total spending on all final goods and services produced can be calculated as follows:

Total spending = Amount paid by consumers to farmer for flour + Amount paid by consumers to baker for bread + Government spending on hiring consumers ...................... (1)

Where;

Amount paid by consumers to farmer for flour = $20,000

Amount paid by consumers to baker for bread = $120,000

Government spending on hiring consumers = $14,000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Total spending = $20,000 + $120,000 + $14,000 = $154,000

Therefore, the total spending on all final goods and services produced is equal to $154,000.

Answer:

Last Year Now

Units Produced 1,200 1,200

Labor (hours) 300 250

Resin (pounds) 50 46

Capital Invested ($) 9,000 11,000

Energy (BTU) 2,950 2,850

last year's labor productivity = 1,200 / 300 = 4 units per labor hour

current year's labor productivity = 1,200 / 250 = 4.8 units per labor hour

productivity increased by (4.8 - 4) / 4 = 20%

last year's materials productivity = 1,200 / 50 = 24 units per pound of resin

current year's materials productivity = 1,200 / 46 = 26.09 units per pound of resin

productivity increased by (26.09 - 24) / 24 = 8.7%

last year's capital productivity = 1,200 / 9,000 = 0.1333 units per $ invested

current year's capital productivity = 1,200 / 11,000 = 0.1091 units per $ invested

productivity decreased by (0.1091 - 0.1333) / 0.1333 = -18.18%

last year's energy productivity = 1,200 / 2,950 = 0.4068 units per BTU

current year's energy productivity = 1,200 / 2,850 = 0.4211 units per BTU

productivity increased by (0.4211 - 0.4068) / 0.4068 = 3.52%
