Budget and Schedule
Expanding SG’s free printing to the Hub is a fairly inexpensive project, and it is easily manageable by Student Government’s annual budget. Currently, SG’s free printing at the Reitz Union is funded from the Computer Lab Printing fund, and the yearly budget comes from the Activity and Service Fee of the student tuition ($14.55/credit hour). The approved printing fund is calculated to be $125,740 for the 2013-2014 fiscal year, and it is approximately 0.66 percent of SG’s $18 million budget [1]. The total cost associated with expanding SG’s free printing to the Hub includes equipment, maintenance, labor, and marketing costs.
Equipment Cost
The required machineries for this project are computers, printers, and thin-line clients. Even though free printing at the new location will increase student population and printing demands, it is still possible to use existing computers and printers, which are expected to last five years. However, additional thin-line clients are necessary to connect to the central servers for releasing print jobs. Considering the location and the number of students who will use it, 2 new thin-line clients should be purchased, and the total cost is estimated to be $640 (approximately $320/thin-line client) [2].
In addition to the technical machines, it is necessary to have consumable goods such as ink, toner, and copy paper for printing. Currently, SG has a contract with an electronic company located in Gainesville named B&B, and SG pays them $0.008/ page from the printing fund for proving the necessary toners and printers for current ten printing stations under Student Government [2]. However, SG provides the copy papers, but it is inexpensive. Fifty packets of standard size copy papers (8 ½...

...t utilization of student fees, and it is a useful and inexpensive way for SG to serve the student body better. An effective approach will show that SG is aware of students’ needs and is willing to meet those needs. Moreover, the new printing station at the Hub will increase the student traffic, thus providing more business and making a better revenue source for the businesses.
SG-FPI’s proposal to expand free printing to the Hub benefits students and helps SG to use its resources more responsibly to serve the students better at lower cost. The new free printing station will be a convenient location for the students, and it also will help them to focus on studies by saving time and money. Thus, we, Student Government Free Printing Initiative (SG-FPI), respectfully urge you to respond to the students’ needs by taking necessary steps to allow free printing at the Hub.
„« Without government support fund in second year onwards, if GSC wants to breakeven, we will suggest using case 1 with a combination of gift shop. With a $520,000 as promotion expenditures, GSC still has a $20,000 lost that need to be covered. Generate profit from gift shop can get out of the lost. In case 2, it is non-sense to charge the preschool children a ticket price since it will conflict will our primary goal, which is to educate the general public. In case 3, it is difficult to persuade government to grant a $1,000,000 each year. Once the government stops funding, GSC may need to close down.
Moving paper from the printer to the envelope does nothing to add value to business. It costs both time and money. Postage, printing and personnel costs keep increasing and adding to bottom line. Twenty years ago, there was the promise of “ The Paperless Office" and it is a promise that will probably never come to fruition. Since the mid-1980’s, paper clutter has expanded exponentially on the average desk. (http://www.FutureTechConsulting.com/) Not on original Reference Pg.

Printing, copy and computer costs: Stock up on printer paper and floppy discs at a discount store before the school year starts (on-campus supply stores often charge many times the going rate). You'll not only save money, you'll avoid last-minute exam week supply crises.
Our decision is that Mr. Butkus should choose to implement both options. The additional capacity is definitely needed, and the demand to fill the capacity is also present. We calculated the possible revenue that could be earned under two sections: Low additional demand and High additional Demand. The additional revenue generated in these two scenarios are $42 900 and $31 200, respectively. Also, the in both of these scenarios, the time needed to pay for the cost of the required expansions are less than a year.

Book-In-Time solution provided by Xerox is one of the most efficient solutions for publishing companies running on demand for short-run books. The advantage gained by larger publishing and printing companies that may have achieved economies of scale with large print runs would be evenly compensated with the significant cost saving short run Book-In-Time technology.
In conclusion, the school should solve the housing problems for students regarding cost and small dormitories. To do so, the school should contract with apartments near Seattle central or extend the small dormitory. Furthermore, the school should stand up for student’s positions. The school should acknowledge the necessities of needing to improve these problems. If these problems are solved, students can put all their effort into studying and the school can retain competent students.
