Net Present Value, ROI, And Break-Even Analysis Of Website Launch For Non-Profit Organization

Therefore,

In the given scenario, there is a responsibility to launch a new website for a local non-profit organization. There may be several costs, which may be one-time or recurring in nature. Hence, all the costs and benefits must be known and calculated effectively.

The objective of the scenario is to calculate whether the launching of the product is cost effective or not. There are various requirements to be fulfilled while checking the viability of a project (Robinson & Burnett, 2016). Thus, the net present value must be calculated which must be positive as a negative figure represents the failure of a project (Kashyap, 2014).

The return on investment must be positive and the break-even analysis must be done to know whether the project is able to get back or recover its initial outflow (Hayward et al., 2016). Thus, the beneficial capacity of the project must be known from the calculation of the above factors (Abor, 2017).

The net present value is $63,724, which is a positive figure, making the project viable. The ROI is 72% making the project a beneficial one. As per the analysis of payback or break even, we can conclude that the initial amount can be recovered by 5years after the start of the project.

Conclusion

The manager must undertake the project, as there are no negative factors.
