Costs in a benefit cost study are the expenditures of

  • A.the public using the facility
  • B.the contractor building the works
  • C.the neighbouring landowners
  • D.the government or sponsoring agency

Answer: D

Correct answer: the government or sponsoring agency

The costs in the denominator are the sponsor’s outlays: construction, land, operation and maintenance. What the public gives up appears elsewhere, as a disbenefit, and the contractor’s costs enter only through the price the agency pays. Keeping the perspective consistent is what prevents the same effect being counted twice.
