• Economics Problem: Chapter 8

  $5.00

  The city of Gruberville is considering whether to build a new public swimming pool. This pool would have a capacity of 800 swimmers per day, and the proposed admission fee is $6 per swimmer per day. The estimated cost of the swimming pool, averaged over the life of the pool, is $4 per swimmer per day. Gruberville has hired you to assess this project. Fortunately, the neighboring identical town of Figlionia already has a pool, and the town has randomly varied the price of that pool to find how price affects usage. The results from their study follow:

  1. If the swimming pool is built as planned, what would be the net benefit per day from the swimming pool? What is the consumer surplus for swimmers?
  2. Given this information, is an 800-swimmer pool the optimally sized pool for Gruberville to build? Explain.

  2. Explain why takeup rates—the fraction of eligible individuals who enroll in the program— are so much higher for Medicare than for Medicaid.
  3. The fact that such a large fraction of U.S. health care costs is spent on people in their last six months of life has led many people to call the American health care system “wasteful.” Why might this be an overgeneralization?

  An individual’s demand for physician office visits per year is Q = 10 – (1/20)P, where P is the price of an office visit. The marginal cost of producing an office visit is $120.

  6. If individuals pay full price for obtaining medical services, how many office visits will they make per year?
  7. If individuals must pay only a $20 copayment for each office visit, how many office visits will they make per year?
  8. What is the deadweight loss to society associated with not charging individuals for the full cost of their health care

  Given that subsidized health care leads to increased health care usage, is this necessarily due to moral hazard? Explain.

  Chapter 14 Capital Budgeting Decisions: Garrison/Noreen/Brewer, Managerial Accounting, Twelfth Edition

  True/False Questions

  1. When cash flows are uneven and vary from year to year, the internal rate of return method is easier to use than the net present value method.

  2. For capital budgeting decisions, the net present value method is superior to the simple rate of return method.

  3. Depreciation is included as a cash flow in capital budgeting decisions to ensure that the original cost of the asset is fully recovered.

  4. Even when done properly, the total-cost and incremental-cost approaches to choosing between alternatives will sometimes yield different answers.

  5. An increase in the expected salvage value at the end of a capital budgeting project will have no effect on the internal rate of return for that project.

  6. The intangible benefits of automation cannot be estimated with any accuracy and therefore should be ignored in capital budgeting decisions.

  7. When making preference decisions about competing investment proposals, the project profitability index is superior to the internal rate of return.
  8. The project profitability index is computed by dividing the net present value of the project by the investment required by the project.

  9. In calculating the “investment required” for the project profitability index, the amount invested should be reduced by any salvage recovered from the sale of old equipment.

  10. The payback method is most appropriate for projects whose cash flows extend far into the future.

  11. When using the payback method, any cash flows for a project that occur after the payback period are not considered in computing the payback period for that project.

  12. The present value of a given future cash flow will increase as the discount rate decreases.

  13. If a company is operating at a profit, the cash inflow resulting from the depreciation tax shield is computed by multiplying the depreciation deduction by one minus the tax rate.

  14. All cash inflows are taxable.
  15. The after-tax benefit, or net cash inflow, realized from a particular taxable cash receipt can be obtained by multiplying the cash receipt by one minus the tax rate
