Economic Feasibility
Economic Feasibility :
• It refers to the analysis of the cost-effectiveness of a project (idea) in order to
determine whether the company (entrepreneur) should undertake the project on the
basis of profitability or not.
IT/ IS Business Idea: Economic Feasibility
• Investments in IT have become crucial for firms to improve the quality of their products/ services.
• “IT spending has grown 166 percent per decade since the 1970s as companies looked to
technology as the “silver bullet” to spur their business growth” (Cohan, 2005)
• Investing in IT/ IS is very crucial for all businesses in every industries. For e.g., foodservice
operators must adopt technology as more than simply a cost of doing business. They must view it
as a tool to help them attain their strategic business objective.
• There are numerous possible IT projects that firms could invest in, such as, ecommerce, ERP
system, new software development, etc.
• Due to limited resources and time, companies must wisely choose to invest. Therefore, the
feasibility study is an integral part during the planning phase of the system development life cycle.
• One of the feasibility factors that need to be assessed is economic feasibility by doing the cost-
benefit analysis, using financial techniques, like time value of money or break-even point analysis.
Estimation
• Estimation is to figure out the approximate result which is usable even if input data may be incomplete or uncertain. Estimating is
the main part of feasibility analysis.
• In doing the estimation for IT/IS project, there are four major variables that need to be considered - time, requirements,
resources (cost, labor, materials, infrastructure), and risks
• Therefore, making good estimates of time and resources is crucial.
• Underestimating may cause inadequacy of time, money, infrastructure, materials, or people to complete the project while
overestimating needs can lead to reject or postpone the project because it is too expensive.
• According to the article in developer.com, Estimates can be roughly divided into three types:
Fair estimates: This is a very good estimate. It will be only 25% to 50% off the actual value. It is possible when you are very
familiar with the project as you may have done it many times before, such as maintenance type project where the fixes are
known, and has been done before.
Rough estimates: The estimate is closer to the actual value. It will be about 50% to 100% off the actual value. Rough estimates
are possible when working with well-understood needs and one is familiar with domain and technology issues.
Ballpark or order of magnitude: The estimate would fall within two or three times the actual value. Most estimation, especially
for a new project, fall within this type. Some may think that this type of estimation is close to no estimate at all. However, they
are very valuable because they give the organization and project team some idea of what the project is going to need in terms of
time, resources, and money. It is better to know that project is going to take between two and six months to do rather than have
no idea how much time it will take at all.
Detailed estimates for some items rather than others may arise. For e.g., a rough estimate may be provide of the infrastructure need
but give only an order of magnitude of the people and time needed.
Estimation Technique for new projects (Order of magnitude)
1. Break the project down into different tasks needed.
2. Evaluate each task on two scales: complexity and size
of work. Tasks effectively fall into one of nine
combinations of complexity and size.
• less complex task may still involve a large amount of work, such
as, loading a database from paper forms
3. For each combination, define an expected amount of
time and resources required. For example,
• low complexity and small-size tasks will take one week at most
• medium complexity and small-size tasks will take three weeks
• These weighing factors will differ based on team and project and
should be reviewed after the project to get better values next
time
4. Add together all these values for each task to get an
estimate of time and resources required.
Estimation Technique familiar projects (Rough or Fair)
According to Murthi (2002) article in developer.com, system analyst could estimate familiar projects
by doing Rough or Fair estimates:
1. People who will do the actual work are the best people to do these estimates.
2. One can add up all the estimates from different people to get final estimates.
3. Ensure to collect estimates of time, people, infrastructure, and material needs.
4. Break down tasks to as detailed a level as possible.
Cost Estimation
Top-down approach:
Cost is derived from a business analysis of the major project components, or start with the owner’s expectations on the
range of costs. Then, figure out what you can deliver for those numbers.
Bottom-up approach:
Cost is derived by accumulating estimates from the people responsible for various components. By doing the bottom-up
approach, one would break down a task into small components, estimate each piece, and add the estimate together.

wants is small
• On the other hand, IT/IS projects can provide many benefits, both tangible and intangible, to an organization. The tangible benefit, such as
cost saving or increase in revenue, would be easier to estimate while intangible benefits are harder to quantify
Break- Even Analysis
• Break-even analysis is a type of cost benefit analysis to identify at what point (if ever) benefits equal costs
• The break-even point is usually expressed as the amount of revenue that must be realized for the firm to
have neither profit or loss. It expresses a minimum revenue target

Target Price Cost of goods sold 3.25 INR
How to price your product Production Time 2.00 INR
Add a profit margin say you want to earn a 20% profit margin on your product on top of your variable cost. When
you’re choosing this percentage, it’s important to remember two things.
1. You haven’t included your fixed costs yet, so you will have costs to cover beyond just your variable costs.
2. You need to consider the overall market, and make sure that your price with this margin still falls within the
overall “acceptable” price for your market. If you’re 2x the price of all of your competitors, you might find sales
become challenging depending on your product category.
Once you’re ready to calculate a price, take your total variable costs, and divide them by 1 minus your desired
profit margin, expressed as a decimal. For a 20% profit margin, that’s 0.2, so divide your variable costs by 0.8.
In this case, that gives you a base price of 17.85 INR for your product, which you can round up to 18.00 INR.
Economic Feasibility
Can the bottom line be quantified yet?
Very early in the project…
a judgement of whether solving the problem is worthwhile.
Once specific requirements and solutions have been identified…
…the costs and benefits of each alternative can be calculated
Cost-benefit analysis
Purpose - answer questions such as:
Is the project justified (I.e. will benefits outweigh costs)?
What is the minimal cost to attain a certain system?
How soon will the benefits accrue?
Which alternative offers the best return on investment?
Examples of things to consider:
Hardware/software selection
Selection among alternative financing arrangements (rent/lease/purchase)
Difficulties
benefits and costs can both be intangible, hidden and/or hard to estimate
ranking multi-criteria alternatives
© Easterbrook 2004
Benefits Costs
Tangible Benefits Development costs (OTO)
Readily quantified as $ values Development and purchasing costs:
Examples: Cost of development team
Consultant fees
increased sales
software used (buy or build)?
cost/error reductions
hardware (what to buy, buy/lease)?
increased throughput/efficiency
facilities (site, communications, power,...)
increased margin on sales
more effective use of staff time Installation and conversion costs:
installing the system,
Intangible benefits training personnel,
file conversion,....
Difficult to quantify
But maybe more important! Operational costs (on-going)
business analysts help estimate $ values
System Maintenance:
Examples: hardware (repairs, lease, supplies,...),
increased flexibility of operation software (licenses and contracts),
higher quality products/services facilities
better customer relations
Personnel:
improved staff morale
For operation (data entry, backups,…)
For support (user support, hardware and
How will the benefits accrue? software maintenance, supplies,…)
When - over what timescale? On-going training costs
Expenses:
4 Smalltalk training registration ($3500.00/student) $14,000
Expenses:
1 Maintenance Agreement for Pentium Pro Server $995
1 Maintenance Agreement for Server DBMS software $525
Preprinted forms (15,000/year @ .22/form) $3,300
Do cost/benefit analysis
Calculate Return on Investment:
Allows comparison of lifetime profitability of alternative solutions.
ROI = Total Profit = Lifetime benefits - Lifetime costs
Total Cost Lifetime costs
Calculate Break-Even point:
how long will it take (in years) to pay back the accrued costs:
@T (Accrued Benefit > Accrued Cost)

Calculating Present Value
A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow…
Your analysis should be normalized to “current year” dollar values.
Present Value:
The “current year” dollar value for costs/benefits n years into the future
… for a given discount rate i
1
Present_Value(n) = (1 + i)n

Computing the payback period
Can compute the break-even point:
when does lifetime benefits overtake lifetime costs?
Determine the fraction of a year when payback actually occurs:
| beginningYear amount |
endYear amount + | beginningYear amount |
For our last example, 51,611 / (70,501 + 51,611) = 0.42
Therefore, the payback period is approx 3.4 years

Return on Investment (ROI) analysis
For comparing overall profitability
Which alternative is the best investment?
ROI measures the ratio of the value of an investment to its cost.

ABC Pvt. Ltd. wants to invest in a new portable solar electricity product with a life of 8 years.
• Mr. Y, the owner needs to perform an economic feasibility study about the project and submit a report. He collected the
following data to conduct the feasibility analysis:
State Govt. to promote solar energy provides a tax-free subsidy for $1.25 million on initial capital investment
The equipment cost at the beginning of the project will be $17.5 million. The project also requires some
additional equipment at the end of the third year for $1.25 million
The total life of the original equipment is 8 years with zero resale/ salvage value. Life of additional
equipment is 5 years and a salvage value of $125,000
The working capital requirement at the initiation of the project is $2 million. The working capital will get fully
realized in the ending year
Full financing for the project is done by issuing equity
The estimated sales volume over the 8 year period is:
Years 1 2 3 4-5 6-8
Units 72,000 108,000 260,000 270,000 180,000
Expected Sales price = $120 per unit.
Variable expenses will amount to 60% of sales revenue
The fixed operating cost will amount to $1.8 million per year
The loss of any year will be set- off from the profits of the subsequent two years.
ABC is subjected to a tax rate of 30%. It follows the straight-line method of depreciation.
Mr. Y calculates the net present value (NPV) of the project by discounting the cash-flows at 12%. If NPV is
positive then the project is feasible and the company can consider the project to be taken.
Solution:
Solar Electricity Project – ABC Pvt. Ltd.
Statement of Initial Cash Outflow Depreciation = Asset Cost – Salvage Value / Useful Life of Asset
• The company incurs losses in its first year; therefore it is liable to pay zero taxes.
• Also, the company is allowed to adjust its losses for two subsequent years for tax
purposes. Hence profit before taxes (PBT) for second year will be reduced by losses
of first year to (i.e. $ 1,197,000 – 532,000 = 665,000)
Conclusion
The feasibility study is the most important test that every entity should perform in advance while undertaking a new project or idea
It gives a clear picture of the proposed project and helps the management to choose the best out of various alternatives available by
providing valid reasons to accept one and reject other(s).
Feasibility analysis enhances the rate of success by saving an entity’s resources, time and money.
Feasibility study is applicable in various dynamics, for example,
an automobile prototype is a tool for the feasibility study,
an experiment on rats to develop a new medicine is a procedure of feasibility analysis,
checking the configuration and features before purchasing a laptop resembles feasibility tests.

Design Thinking and Affordable Innovation:
by
Dr. P K Dan
IIT Kharagpur
For designing Car (Nano, Kwid or Logan) to designing incubator for infants
(Stanford)
MAC 400 ECG Machine: General Electric, for instance, has developed
several healthcare devices for rural markets in emerging economies and
electrocardiogram is one such device. Normal cardiograms are very complex
devices and only trained cardiologists are able to use them, while General
Electric’s frugal cardiogram removed all unnecessary components and
reduced product and process complexity significantly by using substitute
locally available materials, use printers from local bus terminals and off-
the-self components.
Tractor for Agri-farming
developed with
Affordability (Frugal) Engineering
Those are also easier to implement besides being energy-efficient and its
popularity can be guessed from the company’s estimate of a US$200
billion global market for SMART portfolio.
A low cost prosthetic ‘Jaipur leg’ developed in India, costs only about
$150 to produce, that embodies improvisations by adapting irrigation
piping into the design to reduce cost.
Infant Warmer/ Incubator designed at Stanford University
(a) Reduced cost of ownership: It is just not the price point at purchase,
which anyway is crucial as a factor for success with frugal innovations; it is
more than that; it rather is in significantly reduced ‘overall or total cost of
ownership (TCO)’ that is achieved by the low costs of input usage,
maintenance and repair throughout its service life from acquisition till
disposal.
(d) Economies of Scale: Finally, the need for significant cost reduction,
and the thin profit margins almost necessarily associated with frugal
products necessitate access to voluminous business to reduce unit costs of
development and production.

We can ask questions to ourselves about our observations based on these three
types of questions to understand people and derive deeper levels of
understanding. Note down details of all your observations in following
categories:E.g.
What (note down the How (describe how the Why (try to interpret the
details of what is person is doing what he or scene)
happening) she is doing)
What is the person Is the person putting in a great Why is she/he doing what
doing? deal of effort? she/he is doing?
What is happening in Is the person frowning or Why is she/he behaving so?
the background? smiling while doing the task?
What is the person Does the person use many ad- Why is she/holding or
holding? hoc tools to make the task using a particular tool?
easier? What is the driving factor
behind it?
Stage 2: Define the Problem by Synthesizing Information
What is ‘Defining’?
Collection of information gathered in the ‘empathy phase’ followed by
analyzing and synthesizing the observation.
Why it is needed?
It is essential to define a meaningful and actionable problem statement
and to bring clarity and focus into the design space to start ‘ideation’ in
the right direction.
Stage 3: Ideate
What is ideation?
This stage brings out the best of ideas for solving a defined problem,
through Brainstorming and Worst Possible Idea activities.
Creativity and Innovation are two driving forces behind developing
solutions.
Stage 4: Prototype
What is prototype?
An early, inexpensive, and scaled down version of a product.
It offers developers the opportunity to bring their ideas to
life, test the practicability of the current design, and to
potentially investigate how a sample of users think and feel
about a product.
Types of Prototyping
Low-Fidelity Prototyping: It involves the use of basic models or
examples of the product being tested. It may be incomplete and
uses a few features of the final intended design. It may be made
of different material rather than the selected material in design.
Stage 4: Prototype
What is Testing?
Testing in design thinking means getting feedbacks from the users about
the developed prototype. These feedbacks helps to understand the users
more deeply.
Why Testing?
