 Cost-benefit analysis is a technique that compares two or more systems, states, services, products, or things to determine the best viable choice. It involves estimating and comparing the total costs and benefits of each alternative over a specified period of time. The costs and benefits can be expressed in monetary or non-monetary terms, depending on the nature and scope of the analysis. Cost-benefit analysis can help to identify the most efficient and effective solution that maximizes the net benefit or minimizes the net cost. Cost-benefit analysis can also help to evaluate the feasibility, desirability, and sustainability of a project or initiative. References:
