Include as an appendix to your paper a projection of the costs of your project for in excess of one (1) year. Create a spreadsheet that illustrates your interpretation of the results and will identify at what point in your project decisions will have an effect on the cost of money.
Make sure to include an introduction paragraph that tells the readers what they are about to see.
