Cost-Benefit Analysis—Examples Case 1: The Simplest Case
• The planner is asked to design a project to provide 100 mgd of usable water, and there is but one feasible source.
• There are only two sensible designs – one with higher first costs, but lower OMR costs, and the other with lower first costs but higher OMR costs.

Case 1 (cont’d)
Example: Economic life of structure – 50 years (with discounting)
Design A Design B
First Cost $5,000,000 $3,000,000
Annual OMR Cost $100,000 $200,000
PV of OMR Cost3%6%
$2,573,000$1,576,000
$5,146,000$3,152,000
Total PV, first Cost & OMR3%6%
$7,573,000$6,576,000
$8,146,000$6,152,000

• (Warning) Need to consider benefits and costs realized at different time.
– Inflation
– Risk and uncertainty on the rate of return
– Internal rates of return:
• NBpv=(B0-C0)+ (B1-C1) /(1+r)+ (B2-C2)/(1+r) 2 +…
• 0=(B0-C0)+ (B1-C1) /(1+i)+ (B2-C2)/(1+i) 2 +…
• Where r is the interest rate, and i is the internal rate of return.

Case 2 (Cont’d)
• Step 1: Estimate cost function– Ci=f(xi), where Ci = cost, xi=reservoir capacity
• Step 2: Estimate Production (yield)– Yi=f(xi), where yi = yield, xi=reservoir capacity
• Step 3: Establish Iso-Output Function of combinations of Reservoirs I and II for 100 mgd usable water
• Step 4: Establish Iso-Output Function of combinations of Reservoirs I and II
• Step 5: Find the least cost combination of reservoirs using the point of tangency

Multicriteria - Basic Problem
Definition: a multicrtieria decision problem is a situation in which, having defined a set of actions (A) and a consistent family (F) of criteria on A, one wishes
– to determine a subset of actions considered to be the best with respect to F
– to divide A into subsets according to some norms (sorting problems)
– to rank the actions of A from best to worst (ranking problems)
15
Balance Sheet of Project Evaluation
•Can be viewed as a particular application of the social cost-benefit approach to evaluation
• Developed by Lichfield and widely used in England
• Considers all benefits and all costs with respect to all community goals in one enumeration
• Presents a complete set of social accounts, with respect to different goals, and for consumers and producers
• The costs and benefits are recorded as capital (once for all) items or annual (continuing) items. Types of evaluation considered: monetary, quantitative but non-monetary, intangible, and time.
16
Check List Criteria
•Ranks appropriate alternative proposals on an ordinal basis in relation to a number of specific criteria.
• Widely used by professional land-use planners
17
Goals-Achievement Matrix
•Developed by Hill (1965)– M Hill. 1965. A Goals-Achievement Matrix for Evaluating Alternative Plans.
Application to Transportation Plans. Journal of the American Institute of Planners , Vol. 34, No. 1, 19-29.
•This method attempts to determine the extent to which alternative plans will achieve a predetermined set of goals or objectives
•Costs and benefits are always defined in terms of achievement.– Benefits represent progress toward the defined objectives, while costs represent
retrogression from defined objectives.– The basic difference between PBSA and GAM is that GAM only considers
costs and benefits with reference to well stated objectives, and to well defined incidence groups.
18
Concordance-Discordance analysis
•It consists of a pair-wise comparisons based on calculated indicators of concordance or discordance.
•The concordance index reflects the relative dominance of a certain competing plan, and the discordance index shows the degree to which the outcomes of a certain plan are worse than the outcomes of a competing plan.
21
Multi Objective Programming (MOP)
• Basic Concepts and Definition of MOP
• Non-Dominated Solutions
• Generating/Incorporating Methods– Weight Method– Constraint method
• MOP under uncertainty
22
Why MOP?
• Multiple decision makers
• Multiple evaluating criteria
• Wider range of alternativesMore realistic analysis of problems
* In fact, any optimization is (or should be) multiobjective!!!!
