# Technology consulting internships: strategy, implementation or data?

## Does the software's time saving cover its price?

This separate fictional case values released time. It does not assume that payroll will fall.

### Purchase assumptions

| Input | Amount |
| --- | --- |
| Annual subscription | $8,000 |
| One-time implementation | $5,000 |
| Annual time released | 300 hours |
| Assumed value per hour | $25 |

## Your turn

Compare first-year cost with annual time value. What happens in later years if these assumptions remain unchanged?

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

State how the released time would be used before treating it as a financial benefit.
