Prospective cost
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
A prospective cost is a cost that may be incurred or changed if an action is taken: Whether or not the cost is paid depends on some action. Prospective costs can lead to unintended loss and positive or negative results for the stakeholders,[1] and can be contrasted with sunk costs, which are costs that have already been incurred.
