ces The Biology Group (BG) is an environmentally conscious organization that buys land with the objective of preserving the natural environment. BG receives private contributions and takes no assistance from the government. Fixed costs of operating the organization are $2,000,000 per year. Variable costs of purchasing the land (including environmental impact reports, title searches, etc.) average $3,000 per hectare. For the next budget year, BG expects to receive private contributions totalling $20,000,000. All contributions in excess of costs will be used to purchase land. Requirements How many hectares will BG be able to purchase next year? 2. BG is considering participating in a new government program that will provide $1,000 per hectare to subsidize the purchase of environmentally sensitive land. If BG participates in this program, it estimates the organization will lose $5,000,000 in contributions from supporters who believe that accepting money from the government is not consistent with its mission. If BG does participate in the program, and its forecasts are accurate, how many hectares of land will it be able to purchase? On financial considerations alone, should BG participate in the government program? 1. Requirements 1 and 2. Determine the formula you will use to calculate the hectares of land purchased. Next, enter the amounts under each scenario to calculate the number of hectares the organization will be able to purchase. Number of hontane
