- Third Party Resource Title: Breakeven Analysis Project
- Third Party Resource Link: https://serc.carleton.edu/teaching_computation/workshop_2020/activities/239161.html
- Description: The project requires students to use basic programming skills in MATLAB to write a program that will perform a breakeven analysis for a proposed new elephant house at the local zoo. Students are given parameters for calculating construction costs using three different options for materials and construction methods. The program should determine the expected return on investment and the time to break even for a single construction option chosen by the user. The construction costs are considered the initial fixed costs. The particular construction materials selected will affect the variable costs for operating the new enclosure as well as the revenue that can be expected, which is based on visitor response.
