Answer B: A discounted cash flow method comparing the present value of all expected future cash flows from an investment to the initial investment cost

NPV analysis discounts all projected future cash flows (NOI, reversion/sale proceeds) to their present value using the required discount rate, then subtracts the initial investment. Positive NPV = investment exceeds required return (invest); Negative NPV = investment falls short (do not invest); Zero NPV = investment exactly meets required return.
