4. Time Horizon: 5 years, to evaluate long-term benefits.

Formulas and Calculation Steps:

1. Annual Revenue from project-based fees and value-based pricing.

2. Present Value of Expected Benefits using the formula: $PV=∑Annual Revenue(1+r)nPV=∑(1+r)nAnnual Revenue​$

3. Net Economic Benefit: $Net Economic Benefit=PV of Benefits−Initial Setup CostsNet Economic Benefit=PV of Benefits−Initial Setup Costs$

Calculation

# Initial setup costs and expected revenue parameters
initial_setup_costs_sd = 1000000
projects = 50
average_project_fee = 100000
additional_premium_fee = 50000
discount_rate_sd = 0.05

# Calculating total annual revenue
annual_revenue_project = projects * average_project_fee
annual_revenue_premium = projects * additional_premium_fee
annual_revenue_total_sd = annual_revenue_project + annual_revenue_premium

# Calculating PV of benefits and net economic benefit
pv_of_benefits_sd = sum([annual_revenue_total_sd / ((1 + discount_rate_sd) ** n) for n in range(1, 6)])
net_economic_benefit_sd = pv_of_benefits_sd - initial_setup_costs_sd
