[Solved by Nursing Experts] Additional Initial Post Addressing

Listed below are questions.

1)You want to update your car with a navigation system. Adding this feature requires a flat fee of $500, and the service provider requires monthly charges of $20.

1. Calculate the break-even point for the device in months.
2. Based on your calculation, would you have the system installed in your car? Why, or why not?
3. Discuss with your fellow students how and why similar break-even analysis may be applicable in health care organizations.
