    By choosing to install the software the company will lose $104,000 as the costs of installation far outweigh the benefits derivable from deploying the new management software.

    Explanation:

    Find below detailed calculation of the benefits or (loss) from this course of action:

    The loss = Total benefits-total costs

    The cost of software $55,000

    Cost of installation $151,000

    Total cost of software $206,000

    Benefits

    Reduction in staff $39,000

    Saved general inventory costs $63,000

    Total benefits $102,000

    Loss from implementing software ($104,000)

    The software's deployment would have been worthwhile if the benefits is for a long term, hence the costs can be spread over a number of years.
