cost of an existing or selected life cycle scenario against which enhanced or
improved options can be compared or the cost of a specific solution selected as abenchmark with which to measure other options
3.1.5base date
date at which rates and prices contained within cost analyses or benchmarkanalyses are based
[SOURCE: RICS NRM 1[1],1.3.3]
3.1.6base rate
interest rate selected as the basis of the selected discount rate
NOTE This could be the current bank rate or the employer’s cost of capital.The baserate is commonly adjusted by the inflation rate to give the discount rate.
