cost - benefit analysis

    0.03 sec.

cost–benefit analysis

Process whereby a project is assessed for its social and welfare benefits in addition to considering the financial return on investment. For example, this might take into account the environmental impact of an industrial plant or convenience for users of a new railway. A major difficulty is finding a way to quantify net social costs and benefits for which there is no market price.
