  • A.annual saving in the first year
  • B.internal rate of return of the project
  • C.depreciation charged over the project's life
  • D.present value of the costs, the initial investment included

Answer: D

Correct answer: present value of the costs, the initial investment included

\[ NPV = \sum \frac{\mathrm{benefits}}{(1+i)^t} - \sum \frac{\mathrm{costs}}{(1+i)^t}. \] The initial investment is a cost at year zero, so it enters undiscounted. A positive result means the project earns more than the discount rate applied to it.
