At the moment the government of Canada measures the strength and well-being of the nation through the GDP, which focuses on economic growth. It is assumed in this case that a country in which goods and services earn high market values is considered to be a 'good' country to live in and that people there are well off. But is this necessarily so? According to Waring, it is important to have an alternative indicator of well-being, ideally one which is arrived at collaboratively and collectively, and which takes a holistic approach to well-being. The Canadian Index of Well-Being has worked collaboratively to develop such a definition. In their words, well-being is defined as: “The presence of the highest possible quality of life in its full breadth of expression, focused on but not necessarily exclusive to: good living standards, robust health, a sustainable environment, vital communities, an educated populace, balanced time use, high levels of democratic participation, and access to and participation in leisure and culture” (CIW).
What do you think about this definition?
Is it complete enough?
What specific things would you include in such a definition?

Two alternatives for purchasing a new printing machine (from providers A and B) are being considered for a production upgrade of a printing facility. Alternative A has a life of 2 years, first cost of $1200, annual reduction in maintenance cost (can be treated as revenue in this cash flow) of $650, and salvage value after 2 years of $250. Alternative B has a life of 3 years, first cost of $1650, annual reduction in maintenance cost of $790, and salvage value after 3 years of $250. MARR = 8%. Alternatives are replicable in the future. Calculate the NPW of each alternative. Show calculation steps leading to this choice and provide explanations whenever possible.
