Why the answer is A, and why the others tempt you.
Annual gross benefit = ₦22,000,000 + ₦8,000,000 = ₦30,000,000. Tax on benefit = ₦30,000,000 × 30% = ₦9,000,000. Annual after-tax net benefit = ₦30,000,000 − ₦9,000,000 = ₦21,000,000. Option B ignores tax entirely, option C represents only the tax amount, and option D is an arithmetic error. The system acquisition cost is a capital item evaluated separately in a full investment appraisal.
