Description:

Benefit-cost analysis (BCA) is one of the tools for conducting economic evaluations and examining project tradeoffs to support sound policy decisions. BCA is more generally defined as a measure of a project’s societal value because it quantifies the project’s societal effects and makes costs and benefits comparable in monetary terms.
