| 520 | |a This is an economic evaluation of the feasibility of government investment in the rubber plantation industry in India. The benefit-cost methodology was used. Cash flows were discounted at rates from five to fifteen per cent, with emphasis on a discount rate of ten per cent, which is approximately the marginal productivity of capital. The optimum project size is 5,000 acres, with planning horizons of 37 years, 32 years, and 27 years. Direct benefit-cost findings, including the internal rate of return (e.g., 14.94 per cent for 37 years) and present worth, indicate that rubber plantations are a worthwhile public sector investment. This conclusion is further supported by an appraisal of important secondary benefits such as employment, import substitution, savings, government revenues, multiplier effects, and regional development. A query has been raised about the advisability of continued tariff protection. | ||
