Question

2. Three mutually exclusive projects are being considered for a remote municipality in Palawan:Project R, a recreational facility, has estimated benefits of P10 million and costs of P8 million;project F,

a forest preserve with some recreational facilities, has estimated benefits of P13million and costs of P10 million; and project W, a wild animal reserve area with restrictedpublic access, has estimated benefits of P5 million and costs of P1 million. In addition, a roadcould be built for a cost of P4 million that would increase the benefits of project R by P8million, increase the benefits of project F by P5 million, and reduce the benefits of project Wby P1 million. Even in the absence of any of the other projects, the road has estimatedbenefits of P2 million. a. Calculate the benefit-cost ratio and net benefits for each possible alternative to the status quo. Note that there are seven possible alternatives to the status quo: R, F, and W, both with and without the road, and the road alone.hiok b.
