Benefit Cost Analysis
Typical ly used fo r publ ic pro jects
The goal is to determine if benefi ts exceed
costs :
Benefi t / Cost Ratio > 1
The goal is NOT to maxim ize B/C Ratio.
Interest rates u sed are typically low er than
those used by businesses. Typ ical ly 4% - 8% (6.5% is typic al)
OMB requires 10% (except w ater p roj .)

Benefit Cost Analysis
The chal lenge is to quant i fy the
benef i ts and cos ts.
The equation
B/C = (Benefits Disbenefi ts)to the publ ic
(Costs)to sponsor ing agency
You can use NPW, EAW, even NFW
which ever is easier in a part icular prob lem .

Benefit Cost Analysis
Steps:1. Def ine the p lann ing hor izon .
2. Spec i fy the Discoun t Rate (MARR) to be used .
3. Deve lop the cost and benef it -d isbenefi t pro f iles in
monetary terms.
4. Compare the benef it s to cos ts using a spec i fied
measu re of worth , su ch as annual equivalent or
present wor th.
5. If th e B /C rat io is :
> 1 project is just i f ied= 1 barely jus ti f ied pol i t ical
< 1 no t just i f ied
6. Repeat steps 3 5 for al ternat ive viewpo ints

Example
A ci ty l ibrary is to be expanded to includ e meeting room s,
more electronic volum es, compu ter facil i t ies, and electroniccheck- in and check-out.
The cos t of the expansio n w il l be $700,000 and the new
equipm ent w il l cos t anoth er $175,000.
Maintenance and renewal of the new addi t ion and equipm entw il l run app rox imately $100,000/year.
The l ibrary is pro jected to be in operation f or 20 years, w ith a
residual value of 40% of first co st for th e ph ysic al faci l i t ies.
There is no salvage value for the equ ipment. Disco un t is 8%.An estimated 150,000 people w il l visi t the l ibrary each year.
How much addi t ional benef i t per person, per year, must the
l ibrary vis i to rs perceive in o rder to just i fy the expansion?

Perspective Matters
Suppose the l ibrary charged an annual
fee
Suppose the ent i re county sponsored
The equation
B/C = (Benefits Disbenefi ts)to pub l ic
(Init ial Investment)by sponsor
What is the viewpo int of a user?
What is the viewpoint o f a non-user?

Incremental B/C Analysis
MUST be used when there are mu lt ip le
al ternat ives to choose from !
The equation is still
B/C = (Benefits Disbenefi ts)to the publ ic
(Costs)to sponsor ing agency
You can useIncr. NPW o rIncr. EAW
which ever is easier in a part icular prob lem .

Incremental B/C Analysis
Steps:1. Def ine the set of feas ib le, mu tual ly exc lus ive, pub l ic
sector al ternat ives to be compared.
2. Def ine the p lann ing hor izon .
3. Deve lop the cost and benef it -d isbenefi t pro f iles in
monetary terms for each alternat ive.
4. Spec if y the MARR to be used .
5. Order the al ternat ives f rom smal les t to largestCost
6. Compare the al ternat ives us ing a spec if ied measure
of worth, suc h as annual equiv alent, capital izedcost, or present wo rth (w ith matchin g l i fet imes).
I f the B/C ratio is :
> 1 higher cost project is just i f ied
1 lower cost project is st i l l just i f ied

Bonus Problem: B/C Build-Up Example
Snack Frid ge Viabi l i tyData:
110 IE & EngM students
48% w i l l use snack fr idge instead of go ing home
Users average (2) drin ks & (1) snack each week
Mark-up i s 10%, dr ink p rice is $.50, sn acks $.75School year averages 32 weeks
Fridge costs $495, lasts 8 yr s, 8% cpd annu al ly
If they save t ime & $$ on snacks & dr ink s, they
can buy book s , study more, and expect one of
them to wina$5 500 national sch olarsh ip every4 years.But the vending company wi l l qui t
do nating $300 per year to their Tech Society
