A discounted measure of project worth. The present worth of the net benefits divided by the present worth of the investment. A form of benefit-cost ratio. Calculated by taking the net benefits as the net present worth of the incremental net benefit (cash flow) stream in those years after the stream has turned positive, and the investment, as the present worth of the incremental net benefit (cash flow) stream in the early years of a project when it is negative. 1, record 9, English, - net%20benefit%2Dinvestment%20ratio
