Cost-Benefit Analysis

1. Compare and contrast discount rates in a private CBA versus a government setting CBA? How do discount rates vary and what are the ranges of such discount rates for these two distinct groups (private versus public)? Why are discount rates higher in one versus the other and what are the trends of discount rates over time? How is the current high levels of inflation and the fight to bring inflation down impacting things? Does this fight against inflation make accepting projects more or less easy? Why or why not?
2. What are intangibles and how are they evaluated with a cost benefit analysis? Why do they need to be incorporated and what are the risks to your analysis if they are not accounted for? Be as detailed as possible. How do the issues of intangibles come into play? In your estimation how do we account for the presence of intangibles and how do we put a value on them? Give some examples and some approaches to valuing intangibles. Do you think the issue of intangibles has/will become more pronounced in this economy as we become more globalized and driven more by intellectual property? Why or why not?
