Allegheny Community Hospital is a nonprofit hospital operated by the county. The hospitals administrator is considering a proposal to open a new outpatient clinic in the nearby city of New Castle. The administrator has made the following estimates pertinent to the proposal.

Construction of the clinic building will cost $840,000 in two equal installments of $420,000, to be paid at the end of 20x0 and 20x1. The clinic will open on January 2, 20x2. All staffing and operating costs begin in 20x2.

Equipment for the clinic will cost $105,000, to be paid in December of 20x1.

Staffing of the clinic will cost $720,000 per year.

Other operating costs at the clinic will be $138,000 per year.

Opening the clinic is expected to increase charitable contributions to the hospital by $210,000 per year.

The clinic is expected to reduce costs at Allegheny Community Hospital. Annual cost savings at the hospital are projected to be $920,000.

A major refurbishment of the clinic is expected to be necessary toward the end of 20x5. This work will cost $135,000.

Due to shifting medical needs in the county, the administrator doubts the clinic will be needed after 20x9.

The clinic building and equipment could be sold for $210,000 at the end of 20x9.

The hospitals hurdle rate is 12 percent.
