This sensitivity analysis reflects the changes in the cash inflow which MHS organization will have if there are changes in internal and external market factors (Hayward, et al. 2017).
In order to increase its overall sales and turnover of business, the new service which needs to be introduced in market is Emergency service Medical and surgical supply and IV Operating rooms. These are the services which are offered in market to satisfy the patients’ needs and demand related to their health care program (Graham., Harvey, & Puri, 2015).
The budget is the predetermined estimation of the expense and cash outflow required to maintain the operation of the services offered in market. It is the amount of capital required to operate new patient care services. However, the budget would be $ 8, 40,000 which is computed after considering all the required expenses and resources for starting up this new MHS service in market. However, budget is the only estimation of the future expenses and required amount which will be needed for starting up new services in market. Ideally, budget is prepared when company wants to forecast the actual amount of expenses and required capital in the future. It is advisable for the organization to add on the escalation amount which will support the funding of the newly introduced services in market.
It is analyzed that NPV of the company is showing the positive outcome of $ 1,856,314.71 which is favorable for accepting this new project. However, after considering the sensitive analysis, it is considered that if there is changes in external factors of the business, company will be having the positive outcomes for this project.
