Cost/benefit analysis is the best fit for this answer
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is a technique used to
compare the total costs of a programme/project with its benefits, using a
common metric (most commonly monetary units). This enables the calculation of
the net cost or benefit associated with the programme. As a technique, it is
used most often at the start of a programme or project when different options
or courses of action are being appraised and compared, as an option for
choosing the best approach. It can also be used, however, to evaluate the
overall impact of a programme in quantifiable and monetised terms.

CBA adds up the total costs of a programme or
activity and compares it against its total benefits. The technique assumes that
a monetary value can be placed on all the costs and benefits of a programme,
including tangible and intangible returns to other people and organisations in
addition to those immediately impacted. As such, a major advantage of
cost-benefit analysis lies in forcing people to explicitly and systematically
consider the various factors which should influence strategic choice.
