TCO reconciliation (R11 fix). Using the computed cash flow above: Σ PV(benefits) = 496,256.83 EUR; Σ PV(costs) = 214,072.30 EUR; PV(benefits) − PV(costs) = NPV = +282,184.53 EUR (this is the computed NPV; PV(costs) already includes the year-0 CAPEX of 175,000 EUR, so no further "net of CAPEX" subtraction is applied). For an undiscounted reference only: total undiscounted cost = 264,684.84 EUR and total undiscounted benefit = 1,119,565.49 EUR, giving undiscounted cost − benefit = −854,880.65 EUR (i.e. undiscounted net benefit +854,880.65 EUR). The two views are consistent: the computed headline figure for the TCO is NPV = +282,184.53 EUR.
