Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Current on-premises electricity costs
Why it's wrong here
This is part of the TCO, not the investment cost for the ROI calculation.
- ✗
Projected marketing revenue
Why it's wrong here
Marketing revenue is not a direct financial output of the cloud migration itself.
- ✓
Initial migration and training costs
Why this is correct
ROI calculations require the total investment cost, which includes one-time migration and training expenses.
- ✗
Cloud provider's stock price
Why it's wrong here
Stock price is irrelevant to the internal ROI of a migration project.
