John Kyler is considering starting a web-based educational business, e-Prep MBA. He plans to offer a short-course review of accounting for students entering MBA programs. The materials would be available on a password-protected website; students would complete the course through self-study. Kyler would have to grade the course assignments, but most of the work is in developing the course materials, setting up the site, and marketing. Unfortunately, Kyler’s hard drive crashed before he finished his financial analysis. However, he did recover the following partial CVP chart:
