Cost-benefit Analysis:

A formal quantitative procedure comparing costs and benefits of a proposed project or act under a set of preestablished rules. To determine a rank ordering of projects to maximize rate of return when available funds are unlimited, the quotient of benefits divided by costs is the appropriate form; to maximize absolute return given limited resources, benefits-costs is the appropriate form.
