Create two columns:
The first is “Cost”

In the “Cost” column you will put all the cost items and the
amount you think it is for each student per year. Not every item has a dollar
amount; but for those that do you must estimate an amount.
In the “Benefit” column you will put the benefit. You will
then estimate a dollar amount of benefit. This benefit will also be at a per
year amount. Not every item has a dollar amount.
