ELI5- Cost/benefit, but without any expenses

366 viewsEconomicsOther

Hey guys, Im currently doing an internship at a firm.

Im currently working on a proyect that has no cost whatsoever, but my boss asked me for cost/benefit analysis. I’m kinda afraid to ask him, if he needs one (and think I am idiot, who does not know shit, lmao).

I made sure to check and the proyect will not inquire any additional monetary expenses

Help apreciated

First of all you are an intern, you are there to learn stuff, so dont be afraid to ask questions.

And to your question anything has a cost to it. The project takes time of peoples work day that have to be paid. The people probably work somewhere so there might be rent cost. They use resources like a pc, this also costs money. Then you might even consider the oportunity cost of these employees not doing other stuff that might make the company more money that this project.
