BCR2 /1
B2 /1
C2 / 1
Where,
B2/1 = reduction in user and operation costs between higher cost
alternative 2 and lower cost alternative 1, expressed as PW
or EUAC
C2/1 = increase in facility costs, expressed as PW or EUAW
If the BCR is 1 or greater, then the higher cost alternative is
economically attractive. If BCR is less than 1, this alternative is discarded.
