    • Zoning Ordinance

    • Cadastral Survey

    • Tax Declaration

    • None of the choices

    Correct Answer

    A zoning ordinance is a local legal measure that regulates land use. It establishes specific zones for different types of land use, such as residential, commercial, or industrial. It sets out rules and regulations regarding the permitted uses, building heights, setbacks, and other aspects of development within each zone. This helps to ensure that land is used in a way that is compatible with its surrounding environment and promotes orderly and planned development. A comprehensive land use plan, on the other hand, is a broader document that guides overall land use and development decisions, but it is the zoning ordinance that enforces those decisions on a more detailed level. Cadastral survey and tax declaration are not directly related to land use regulations.

    • 0-18%

    • Above 50%

    • 16-50%

    • 0-8%

    • None of the choices

    Correct Answer
    A. 0-18%
    Explanation
    The slope range that is prescribed as production land use is 0-18%. This means that land with a slope of 0-18% is suitable for agricultural activities and production purposes. Slopes within this range are gentle enough to allow for effective cultivation and management of crops. Land with slopes above 18% may be too steep for agricultural activities, while land with slopes below 0% may have drainage issues. Therefore, the range of 0-18% is considered the ideal slope range for production land use.

    • Uncertainty of risk

    • Income opportunities now

    • Better prospects in the future

    • Present consumption

    • None of the choices

    Correct Answer
    A. Present consumption
    Explanation
    The correct answer is present consumption. Money is more valuable now than tomorrow because it can be used for immediate needs and desires. By consuming goods and services in the present, individuals can satisfy their current wants and needs. This immediate gratification makes money more valuable in the present rather than in the future, where there may be uncertainty, risks, or better prospects. Therefore, the value of money is higher when it can be used for present consumption.

    When projecting market demand for a project, which of the followingcombination of techniques is not advisable:

    • Survey/planning standards

    • Market testing/time series analysis

    • Experts’ opinion/census

    • Statistical demand analysis/time series analysis

    • None of the choices

    Correct Answer
    A. Experts’ opinion/census
    Explanation
    Experts’ opinion/census is not advisable when projecting market demand for a project. This is because experts' opinions can be subjective and may not always accurately reflect the actual market demand. Similarly, relying solely on census data may not provide a comprehensive understanding of the market dynamics and consumer behavior. Therefore, it is recommended to use other techniques such as survey/planning standards, market testing/time series analysis, and statistical demand analysis/time series analysis to get a more accurate projection of market demand.

    During the Bronze Age along the Indus Valley, the primary factors in the location of cities were transport, agriculture, and defense. Transport was crucial for trade and communication, which led to the establishment of cities in accessible areas. Agriculture played a significant role as fertile land was necessary for sustaining the population. Defense was also important to protect the cities from external threats. Therefore, all of these factors were considered while selecting the locations for cities during the Bronze Age along the Indus Valley.

    Under the 1998 Evolutionary Soil Classification System, the classification leveldepicted in the Bureau of Soils and Water Management is the

    • Soil order

    • Soil type

    • Soil great group

    • Soil series

    • None of the choices

    Correct Answer
    A. Soil series
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Soil series." The 1998 Evolutionary Soil Classification System categorizes soils into different levels of classification, including soil order, soil type, soil great group, and soil series. The soil series is the most specific level of classification, referring to a group of soils that share similar characteristics and are found in a particular geographic area. The Bureau of Soils and Water Management would therefore classify soils based on their soil series.

    A project with negative Net Present Value(NPV) means;

    • Benefit cost ration is higher that 1

    • Present value of benefits is higher than present value of roots

    • IRR is higher than prevailing interest rate

    • Discount rate used is higher that IRR

    • None of the choices

    Correct Answer
    A. Discount rate used is higher that IRR
    Explanation
    A project with a negative Net Present Value (NPV) means that the present value of costs is higher than the present value of benefits. This indicates that the project is not generating enough value to cover its costs and is therefore not financially viable. The discount rate used in calculating the NPV is higher than the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), which means that the project's cash flows are being discounted at a higher rate than the rate of return it is expected to generate. This further reinforces the fact that the project is not economically feasible.

    • PD 1152

    • DAO 96-37

    • None of the choices

    Correct Answer
    A. PD 1586
    Explanation
    PD 1586 is the correct answer because it is the law that proclaims certain areas and types of projects as environmentally critical and within the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) system. This law was enacted to ensure that projects with potential environmental impacts are thoroughly assessed and regulated. Proclamation No. 2146, PD 1152, and DAO 96-37 are not specifically related to the proclamation of land areas and types of projects as environmentally critical and within the scope of the EIS system.
