Toolkit 3
22
Toolkit Objectives
Define economic feasibility Classify costs and benefits into various
categories, including tangible or intangible, direct or indirect, fixed or variable, and developmental or operational
Understand chargeback methods and how they are used
33
Toolkit Objectives
Use payback analysis to calculate the length of time that it takes for a project to pay for itself
Use return on investment analysis to measure a project’s profitability
Use present value analysis to determine the value of a future project measured in current dollars
44
Introduction
You need to know how to calculate costs and benefits when you conduct preliminary investigations, evaluate IT projects, and make recommendations to management
Financial analysis tools are important throughout the systems development life cycle
55
Describing Costs and Benefits
Economic feasibility Total cost of ownership (TCO)
66
Describing Costs and Benefits
Cost Classifications– Tangible costs– Intangible costs– Direct costs– Indirect costs or overhead expenses
77
Describing Costs and Benefits
Cost Classifications– Fixed costs– Variable costs– Developmental costs– Operational costs
88
Describing Costs and Benefits
Managing Information Systems Costs and Changes
– Chargeback method
1. No charge method• Cost center
2. Fixed charge method• Profit center
99
Describing Costs and Benefits
Managing Information Systems Costs and Changes
3. Variable charge method based on resource usage• Resource allocation
• Connect time
• Server processing time
4. Variable charge method based on volume

Describing Costs and Benefits
Benefit Classification
– You must classify the benefits that the company expects from a project
– Like costs, benefits can be classified as tangible or intangible, fixed or variable, and direct or indirect
– Positive benefits
– Cost-avoidance benefits
1111
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Cost-benefit analysis Many cost-benefit analysis techniques exist Three most common methods: payback
analysis, return on investment analysis, and present value analysis
The objective is the same: to provide reliable information for making decisions
1212
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Payback Analysis
– Payback period
– Carry out the following steps1. Determine the initial development cost of the
system
2. Estimate annual benefits
3. Determine annual operating costs
4. Find the payback period
1313
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Payback Analysis
– Economically useful life
1414
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Payback Analysis
– Some managers are critical of it because it places all the emphasis on early costs and benefits and ignores the benefits received after the payback period
– Even with its drawbacks, payback analysis is a widely used tool

Cost-Benefit Analysis
Payback Analysis

Cost-Benefit Analysis
Using a Spreadsheet to Compute Payback Analysis
– First step is to design the worksheet and label the rows and columns
– After entering the cost and benefit data for each year, you enter the formulas
– You will need a formula to display cumulative totals, year by year
1717
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Return on Investment Analysis
1818
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Using a Spreadsheet to Compute ROI
– Use cumulative columns but you also will need two overall totals (one for costs and one for benefits)
– The last step is to add a formula to calculate the ROI percentage rate
– If your data changes, you can modify your worksheet and calculate a new result instantly
1919
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Present Value Analysis
– Time value of money
– Present value analysis
– Present value
– Present value tables
– Net present value (NPV)
2020
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Present Value Analysis
– In theory, any project with a positive NPV is economically feasible
– Can also be used to compare and rank projects
– Provides solutions to the shortcomings of payback analysis and return on investment analysis

Cost-Benefit Analysis
Using a Spreadsheet to Calculate Present Value
2222
Toolkit Summary
Must be concerned with economic feasibility throughout the SDLC
Must classify project costs as tangible or intangible, direct or indirect, fixed or variable, and developmental or operational
Every company must decide how to charge or allocate information systems costs and the chargeback method
2323
Toolkit Summary
You must also classify system benefits Present value analysis adjusts the value of
future costs and benefits to account for the time value of money
Many companies use present value analysis to evaluate and rank projects
