Nolan Rouse 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 Web site; students would complete the course through self-study.

Unfortunately, Rouse's hard drive crashed before he finished his financial analysis. However, he did recover the following partial CVP chart:
