CBA
Objective: To determine the financial feasibility of expanding NWGs into new countries by calculating the net economic benefit, which involves understanding both the costs involved and the expected benefits.
Key Concepts
Present Value (PV): The current value of a future sum of money or stream of cash flows given a specified rate of return.
Net Economic Benefit: The difference between the present value of benefits and the present value of costs.
Present Value:
where is the present value, is the future cash flow, is the discount rate, and is the number of periods.
Net Economic Benefit:
Assumptions:
Increased Memberships: Each NWG results in 1,000 new individual members and 10 new institutional members in the first year.
Membership Fees: $1,000 per individual member and $10,000 per institutional member annually.
Strategic Partnership Contributions: Each NWG attracts one strategic partnership contributing $250,000 annually.
Discount Rate: 5% per annum, for calculating the present value (PV) of future cash flows.
Time Horizon: 5 years, to assess long-term benefits.

Revenue Calculations:
Annual Revenue from Memberships for 5 NWGs:
Individual Members: 1,000 * $1,000/member * 5 NWGs = $5,000,000
Institutional Members: 10 * $10,000/member * 5 NWGs = $500,000
Total: $5,500,000 annually from memberships
Annual Strategic Partnership Contributions for 5 NWGs:
5 NWGs * $250,000/NWG = $1,250,000 annually from partnerships
Given these figures, the total annual revenue projected from both new memberships and strategic partnerships for 5 NWGs would be $6,750,000. This revenue, considered over a 5-year period with a discount rate of 5%, gives us the present value of benefits as $29,223,967.53.
