The Impact of Financial and Strategic Planning

For the assignment this week, you are considering the purchase of a new MRI machine for Bayside Memorial hospital. Think about what types of patients you will be seeing, what types of care you will provide, and the members of the team that you have assembled. Remember that the financial analysis provides much of the guidelines for all decision making in the purchase decision.   Instructions   Using the chart of cash revenues and costs read and explain the results of the cash flow analysis. Describe incremental cash flow. Explain sunk costs, opportunity costs, strategic value and inflation effects. Then provide your decision on whether to make the purchase or not.
