CLO-002 Business Principles OF Cloud Environments Practice Question

A startup is calculating the ROI for a migration project. They have calculated the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) savings. What secondary financial factor must be included to accurately determine the overall ROI of the cloud adoption?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Initial migration and training costs

ROI is (Net Profit / Cost of Investment). To find the net benefit, you must factor in the migration costs (labor, refactoring, training) against the TCO savings.

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.
