Module 8 Benefit Cost Ratio

The document provides information on benefit-cost analysis, including how to calculate the benefit-cost ratio for single projects using both the conventional and modified methods. It also discusses how to compare alternatives using benefit-cost analysis and incremental benefit-cost analysis. An example calculation of benefit-cost ratio is provided for a new machine investment project.

Module 8: Benefit-Cost Ratio

Outline Module 8
 Benefit – Cost Ratio

8-2
The Benefit – Cost Analysis
 The most commonly used method for comparing
economic alternatives.
 This method is often considered as “supplementary”
to present worth analysis.
 The objective is to determine whether the benefit
(gained) in return to any cost (spent) is favorable.
 Basically it is desired that we will gain more than
we have spent.
 Benefit – Cost > 0 → B/C > 1.0
8-3
Classification
 Benefit (B) → all favorable return/gain or
advantages
 Disbenefit (D)→ negative benefit, any negative (loss)
result
 Cost (C) → all things that one pays/expends in
order to have return

 Benefit → income from an investment, e.g., interest


 Disbenefit→ loss of value or (initial) income due to an
investment
 Cost → expenditure

B/C Analysis for A Single Project
Conventional B/C
B −D
B/C =
C
Modified B/C
- includes operation & maintenance cost
- initial investment replaces cost as denominator
B − D −O& M
B/C =
I
Calculation can be made in present worth, future worth or annuity
8-5
B - C Analysis for A Single Project
Conventional B-C
B −C = (B − D) −C

Modified B-C
- includes operation & maintenance cost

B −C = (B − D −O & M ) − I

Calculation can be made in present worth, future worth or annuity


8-6
Exercise
A new machine having an initial investment of Rp 225 million and additional Rp 35 million a year
for maintenance and operation cost, is estimated to generate Rp 95 million per year in revenue.
On the other hand, installation of this new machine will cost the company to lose Rp 3.2 million
per year from selling by product. The machine can latter be sold for Rp 75 million at the end of
5 year and the rate of return is set at 8%. Do the benefit cost analysis.

Conventional method:
Cost C1 = Rp 225 million → 225 (A/P, 8, 5) = 56.3535
Cost C2 = Rp 35 million/year → 35 = 35
Benefit B1 = Rp 95 million/year → 95 = 95
Benefit B2 = Rp 75 million at end of 5 year → 75 (A/F, 8, 5) = 12.7845
Disbenefit D = Rp 3.2 million/year → 32 = 3.2
(A/P, 8, 5) = 0.25046 (A/F, 8, 5) = 0.17046

B/C = [(95 + 12.7845) – 3.2 - 35]/(56.3535) = 1.2348


B - C = [(95 + 12.7845) – 3.2 - 35] – [56.3535] = Rp 13.231 million

Exercise
A new machine having an initial investment of Rp 225 million and additional Rp 35 million a year
for maintenance and operation cost, is estimated to generate Rp 95 million per year in revenue.
On the other hand, installation of this new machine will cost the company to lose Rp 3.2 million
per year from selling by product. The machine can latter be sold for Rp 75 million at the end of
5 year and the rate of return is set at 8%. Do the benefit cost analysis.

Modified method:
Cost C1 = Rp 725 million → 225 (A/P, 8, 5) = 56.3535
Cost C2 = Rp 35 million/year → 35 = 35
Benefit B1 = Rp 95 million/year → 95 = 95
Benefit B2 = Rp 75 million at end of 5 year → 75 (A/F, 8, 5) = 12.7845
Disbenefit D = Rp 3.2 million/year → 32 = 3.2
(A/P, 8, 5) = 0.25046 (A/F, 8, 5) = 0.17046

B/C = [(95 + 12.7845) – 3.2]/(56.3535 + 35) = 1.1448


B - C = [(95 + 12.7845) – 3.2] – [56.3535 + 35] = Rp 13.231 million

Yearly maintenance cost 27.50 million 55 million
Road user cost per year 425 million 350 million
Useful life 20 years 20 years
Interest rate 10%
COST:
EUAWA = 1,250 (A/P, 10, 20) + 27.50 = 1,250 (0.1175) + 27.50 = 174.375 million
EUAWB = 3,500 (A/P, 10, 20) + 55.00 = 3,500 (0.1175) + 55.00 = 466.250 million
Δ Cost = EUAWB – EUAWA = 466.250 – 174.375 = 291.875 million

BENEFIT:
EUAWA = 425 million EUAWB = 350 million Δ Benefit = 425-350 = 75 million

B/C = 75/291.875 = 0. 2570


B-C = 75 – 291.875 = -216.875
