The Total Costs over 5 years amount to ₱2,361,000. Net Benefit is negative in Year 1 and positive from Year 2 onwards, resulting in a cumulative negative net benefit of ₱276,000 after Year 5. To calculate the Return on Investment (ROI), we use the formula: Total Benefits−Total Costs ROI = x 100 Total Costs Year 1 Calculation (including initial costs): Initial Costs: ₱426,000 (Development Costs) Annual Operating Costs: ₱45,500 (Operational Costs) Annual Benefits: ₱270,000 ROI= ₱270,000 – (₱426, 000+₱45,000) ₱270,000-₱471,500 ₱426,000 + ₱45,500 x 100 = ₱471,500 x 100 =-57.4% (Loss in Year 1 due to high initial costs) Year 2 and Onward Calculation (excluding initial costs): Annual Operating Costs: ₱58,500 Annual Benefits: ₱370,000 For Year 2: ROI= ₱370,000 - ₱58,500 ₱311,500 ₱58,500 x 100 ₱58,500 x 100 = 532,8% For subsequent years, the ROI remains high as the system generates benefits without the initial development costs. Year Initial Annual Operating Annual Net ROI Costs () Costs () Benefits () Benefits () (%) Year 1 471,500 45,500 270,000 -201,500 -57.4% Year 2 and - 58,500 370,000 311,500 532.8% onward For Year 1, both initial costs (such as development and setup costs) and annual operating costs are included in the denominator. ROI= Total Benefits – (Initial Costs + Annual Operating Costs) Initial Costs + Annual Operating Costs x 100 From Year 2 onwards, only annual operating costs are considered, and the system is expected to be profitable as the initial investment is already accounted for. ROI = Annual Benefits – Annual Operating Costs Annual Operating Costs x 100 Year 1: The net benefit is negative, which matches the negative ROI (-57.4%) due to high initial development costs. Year 2: The net benefit becomes positive, and the ROI turns positive (532.8%) as the operating costs are lower, and the system begins generating benefits. The chart shows that the system reaches the break-even point around Year 2, which is consistent with the ROI calculation that moves from a negative return in Year 1 to a positive return in subsequent years. Therefore, the chart and the ROI analysis agree. 5.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1 The Virtual Healthcare Consultation System at the University of Batangas (UB) is an important resource for students since it allows them to get healthcare consultations without the requirement for in-person visits.
