Answer the following question about the costs identified when preparing the Economic Appraisal for the short list options
for the Pittville project.
Column 1 contains a list of the costs identified. For each cost in Column 1, decide if the cost should be included in the Economic
Appraisal and select from Column 2 the type of cost it represents. Each selection from Column 2 can be used once, more than
once or not at all.
Column 1
1) The additional on-going cost of electricity for the Pittville
University development.
