The MRI service is expected to operate 50 weeks per year. 1.5 full-time employees will be required with an annual labor cost of $70000 including benefits.
There are no increased overhead costs associated with the opening as the physicians network has an existing building that is currently vacant.
Annually the MRI machine requires $125000 in maintenance costs.
The long-term plan is to utilize this MRI system for five years. At this end of this period the physicians network will sell the MRI for salvage for $750000 (deducting any removal costs). The inflation rate is averaged at 5% for the period. This inflation rate is expected to affect all revenues and costs equally.
