Willingness to pay is used to value a public benefit because it measures

  • A.what a similar private facility costs to operate
  • B.what beneficiaries would give up to obtain it
  • C.what the agency actually spends providing it
  • D.what the contractor charges to build it

Answer: B

Correct answer: what beneficiaries would give up to obtain it

Willingness to pay measures the value to the people who receive the benefit, which is what the analysis is trying to capture. What the agency spends measures cost rather than value, and a project can perfectly well cost more than the benefit is worth - which is the finding the study exists to produce.
