The machine will be available for all the physicians in the clinic and will require additional staff to operate the equipment and the office area where it will be housed.You must prepare a cost-benefit analysis to present to the physicians so they may decide whether to move forward with the purchase.

Although these may be difficult to quantify, they are important costs and benefits that must be considered.Requirements Prepare a two-part cost-benefit analysis.Part 1 Complete the cost-benefit analysis template for the purchase of an MRI machine for the clinic with estimated costs and benefits values. Part 2 Based on the cost-benefit analysis, write a 2–3-page summary: Explain the concept of opportunity cost. Explain how the cost-benefit analysis aligns with organizational needs and future growth.
