proposed system are: -Break-even analysis -Payback analysis -Cash-flow analysis -Present value analysis Break-even analysis is to be used if the project needs to be justified in terms of cost, not benefits, or if benefits do not substantially improve with the proposed system (Kendall and Kendall, 2014 Pg. 69). It’s useful when a business is growing and volume is a key variable in costs (Kendall and Kendall 2014, Pg. 67). A particular strength of the break-even analysis is being able to measure the
