I recall a case study where inflation was a key factor in project viability. So, I’m inclined to think we should include it, which points to option C again. But I wonder if there are exceptions?

I feel like excluding inflation could lead to underestimating costs, so I’m also thinking C is the right choice. But I’m a bit confused about the implications of depreciation mentioned in option B.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question where we discussed real vs. nominal prices. Maybe option A makes sense if we’re looking at constant prices?

I think the Financial Appraisal should definitely consider inflation, so I’m leaning towards option C. It seems important to account for rising costs over time.
