Which of the following is NOT a disbenefit of a new highway?

  • A.noise imposed on adjacent residents
  • B.farmland taken out of production
  • C.habitat lost along the alignment
  • D.the agency's expenditure on construction

Answer: D

Correct answer: the agency's expenditure on construction

Construction spending is a cost borne by the sponsor and belongs in the denominator. The other three are losses imposed on the public without any agency payment, which is what makes them disbenefits. Confusing the two categories changes the ratio, though not the accept-or-reject decision.
