I know there is already an example ou there but I need one for cost/financing a co-op office space. Amounts can be fictional but within reason of possible expected cost and charges per person to make a profit and at what break even point. For your first topic in this conference I would like for you to briefly review either your personal experiences and/or the financial literature to identify and present a description of one actual capital project/product success or failure and the reasons attributed to the success or failure.

In your response please provide financial information regarding the project (what is available): initial outlay, projected cash flows, final dollar profit. Remember this is a one to two paragraph exercise - do not go overboard - a few hours research and summation is all thats required. I am interested only in your short, concise description of the project and the major reasons you believe it was successful or not.

2) Synthesize your one-paragraph position on what 3-5 specific factors you believe most likely to contribute to capital project analysis success or failure.
