A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is _____and ________Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good. Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $1,540. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken,
administrators conduct a survey of the college's 380 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $14.

The benefit of the beautification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is $ ________.Because the estimated benefit is________ than the cost, the college administrators _________ undertake the beautification initiative.
The calculation of the benefit of the beautification initiative relied on the ability of the administrators to capture the true willingness to pay of each student accurately.

Which of the following scenarios would cause the survey used by the college administrators to yield misleading data on willingness to pay?
a. Students believe that if the initiative does not happen, the funds for the initiative will not be spent elsewhere.
b. Students believe they will eventually be charged their willingness to pay.

Answer:

non-rival

non-excludable

$5320

greater

should

b

Explanation:

A public good is a good that is non rivalled and non excludable in consumption. An example is road networks.

If the beautification project is carried out, a student cannot be excluded from benefitting from the project. The benefit a student derives from the project isn't affected by the benefit other students derive from it

Benefit of the project = number of students x willingness to pay

$14 x 380 = $5320

Because the benefit is greater than the cost of the project, the project should be undertaken

Willingness to pay is the highest amount a consumer is willing to pay for a product

Willingness to pay might be misstated if students think they would be charged their willingness to pay. They would understate their willingness to pay.

Assume you are the CEO of Black Diamond, a global organization. You need to assemble members for new project team that is based on a loosely structured product concept. As a result, the project itself is ambiguous without clearly defined goals or roles for members. You recognize that some people are more likely to be comfortable working on such an ambiguous project than others and that this might be related to national or cultural differences. In this case you might seek to put people on the project who are from a ___________________ country.

A consulting engineer has been engaged to advise a town how best to proceed with the construction of a 200,000 water supply reservoir. Since only 120,000 of storage will be required for the next 25 years, an alternative to building the full capacity now is to build the reservoir in two stages. Initially, the reservoir could be built with 120,000 of capacity and then, 25 years hence, the additional 80,000 of capacity could be added by increasing the height of the reservoir. Estimated costs are as follows construction cost, and annual maintenance cost, build in 2 stages first stage 120,000 reservoir $14'200,000 $75,000; second stage add 80,000 of capacity $120600,000 and $25,000 additional construction cost build in full capacity now 200,000 reservoir $22'400,000 and $100,000 if the interest is computed at 4%, which construction plan is preferred?

Florissa's Flowers jointly produces three varieties of flowers in the same garden: tulips, lilies, and daisies. The flowers are all watered via the same irrigation system and all receive the same amount of water; daisies require three times as much as lilies, and the water required for tulips is about halfway between the amounts needed for daisies and lilies. Although the lilies and tulips receive more water than they need due to the joint irrigation process, they are not hurt by the overwatering. The joint production cost of the three varieties of flowers is about $30 per harvest. Every harvest yields 10 tulips, 20 lilies, and 20 daisies.

The Campbell Company is considering adding a robotic paint sprayer to its production line. The sprayer's base price is $820,000, and it would cost another $17,500 to install it. The machine falls into the MACRS 3-year class, and it would be sold after 3 years for $604,000. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445, and 0.1481. The machine would require an increase in net working capital (inventory) of $15,500. The sprayer would not change revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $338,000 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. Campbell's marginal tax rate is 25%.
