What is benefit cost ratio?

Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) - This is the value obtained by dividing the benefit by the cost. The greater the value, the more attractive the project is. For example, if the projected cost of producing a product is Rs.10,000, and you expect to sell it for Rs.40,000, then the BCR is equal to Rs.40,000/Rs.10,000, which is equal to 4. For the benefit to exceed cost, the BCR must be greater than 1.
