Funding a special project

How to calculate the funding:


Microfilm roll can hold 2000 frames or five 400 page books The standard cost is $.25 per frame or $500 per roll (The price includes some processing for completeness and targets.) You would need to film 1200 four hundred page books at $125 per book to make $150000 You would produce 300 rolls of film at $500 per roll to make $150000

Thought questions: Where could you make additional money? Would you need to hire staff to do this? How would you allocate the work of your paraprofessional and student worker to compensate for the extra work? Would you be able to actually perform the digitization project with the number of staff at your disposal? How long to you think it would take you to make the extra $150,000? Where will you market and advertise for the work?
