Hmm, I'm a bit confused. The question says the table name reference is already replaced with $(table_name), so I'm not sure why that's not working. Maybe Option D, adding a Set Variable step, could help resolve that.

Alright, let me break this down step-by-step. I think option B might be the best solution, but I'll double-check the details.

Okay, let me think this through. We have the initial cost, the annual savings, and the cost of capital. I'm a bit unsure about how to calculate the profitability index, but I'll give it my best shot.
