Calculates the benefit indicator (normalized on the 0-1 scale) and the cost indicator (normalized on the 0-1 scale), and performs a Student's t-test (with H0 stating that the mean of benefits and the mean of costs are equal)

1	BenefCost(CountResponses)

CountResponses

the number of stakeholder groups x 30 matrix comprising counted responses to particular items. The $CountResponses from the PreCalc function should be used

Based on responses to relevant items, the function calculates the benefit indicator (normalized on the 0-1 scale) and the cost indicator (normalized on the 0-1 scale). Subsequently, it performs a Student's t-test (with H0 stating that the mean of benefits and the mean of costs are equal) with a view to ascertaining whether benefits are greater than costs (which is indicated by the "+" sign) or vice versa (which is indicated by the "-" sign)

`BenefCostInd`	the benefit indicator and the cost indicator
`BenefCostTest`	the results of Student's t-tests
