Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 4, Problem 5RQ
Explanation of Solution
Methods to perform economic cost-benefit analysis:
The three most commonly used methods to perform economic cost-benefit analysis are as follows:
- Net Present Value (NPV)
- NPV is used to determine and compare the profit in the investment.
- It helps to adjust the expenditures and returns, such that it can be evaluated equally over time.
- By using this NPV, the current value of the project can be calculated, which is established by the capital cost of the company.
- The current value of the project as well as the outlays can be determined by the discount rate.
- Return on Investment (ROI)
- Return on investment (ROI) is defined as the ratio of receipts of net cash of the project and the outlays cash of the project...

Indicate the number of shortest paths that pass through each edge. Explain how this information helps determine edge betweenness. 2. Compute the edge betweenness for each configuration of DFS. 3. Remove the edge(s) with the highest betweenness and redraw the graph. Recompute the edge betweenness centrality for the new graph. Explain how the network structure changes after removing the edge. 4. Iteratively remove edges until at least two communities form. Provide step-by-step calculations for each removal. Explain how edge betweenness changes dynamically during the process. 5. How many communities do you detect in the final step? Compare the detected communities with the original graph structure. Discuss whether the Girvan- Newman algorithm successfully captures meaningful subgroups. 6.
