Everyone was affected by the economic impacts of COVID-19 including nonprofits. Donations plummeted and volunteers dried up but the community's need for help only grew. The table below provides information for the Transformation Station, a nonprofit that focuses on people experiencing homelessness for the first time. Transformation Station has determined they need a bigger storage facility. They first need to perform a sensitivity analysis to determine whether to build a larger storage facility. Part 1: Perform a sensitivity analysis (aka net present value) for the three options above. Show work
Part 2: Remember that we have very little control over whether the Conservative, Most Likely, or Optimistic Estimate is realized. In other words, this analysis is similar to saying, "Well, we don't know exactly how much it will cost or how much you will save. However, we have done some analysis - based on the current economic environment - and we believe it will be somewhere between the…
he Shining Stars primary school was the recent recipient of a technology grant to source and implement a school management system. The school administrator is not technology savvy and therefore sought advice from three of the board members who were knowledgeable in the information systems and technology field.
One director advised the administrator to purchase an off-the-shelf solution which would allow the school to get the system configured and up and running in a short period with reasonable costs.
The second advised the administrator to invest in the development of a unique system to meet the custom requirements of the school’s administration. He suggested that this would create a closer fit to the school’s needs compared to purchasing software, but will cost more.
The third director suggested using an open source solution which would have little if any upfront costs but may take some time to set up.

The Oklahoma City Zoo has proposed adding to their Web site a major segment providing a virtual tour of the grounds and animals, suitable for both routine enjoyment and educational purposes in classrooms. Survey data indicate that this will have either a neutral or positive effect upon actual zoo attendance. The Web site will be professionally done and have an initial cost of $300,000. Upkeep, refreshing the videos, and developing videos for scientific research and entertainment will cost another $75,000 per year. The zoo is expected to be in operation for an indefinite period; however, a study period of only 10 years for the Web site is to be assumed, with only a residual (salvage) value of $55,000 for the archival value being anticipated.

There is a shortage of boat slips in the harbor during the summer. Beam’s idea is to develop a system of “dry slips.” A dry slip is a large storage rack in a warehouse on which a boat is stored. When the boat owner requests, a forklift is used to remove the boat from the dry slip and place the boat in the water. The entire operation requires one hour when a launch reservation is made in advance. The boatyard already has a vacant warehouse, which could be used for this purpose. However, Beam’s idea will require the following capital investment by the boatyard. • Storage racks: cost, $200,000; useful life, 18 years; MACRS class, 10-year property. • Forklift: cost, $120,000; useful life, six years; MACRS class, 5-year property. Bay City Boatyard’s tax rate is 35 percent, and its after-tax hurdle rate is 14 percent. Instructions: For each of the boatyard’s proposed capital investments: 1. Prepare a…arrow_forward
