Further Questions

Following the economic analysis, you might mention a few more noneconomic points that might sway the balance:

  • Are there additional staff costs for cleaning up paper towel waste?
  • How many suppliers of each option are there? If there is a single supplier, might he have the capacity to raise prices in the future?
