Possible ranges of transition costs: 5 examples, total costs
This is to give you an idea of the range of costs. These estimates are in 1998
US dollars and based on anecdotal information and research whenever possible.
However, some of them are little more than educated guesses on my part.
For details on each category, click the appropriate link.
Do not base your own budget on these examples!
- Example 1 is the minimum anyone has reported
for the category-- best-case.
- Examples 2, 3 and 4 represent standard ranges,
with Example 3 as my attempt to show the most typical.
- Example 5 is the maximum anyone has reported
for the category-- worst-case.
- [1] Read all notes in purple
for explanation of estimates.
- The "Your estimate" column will be filled
in as part of Exercise 7.
