The information source can be your local community center, gym, or sports clubs, or you can explore online resources related to your location.
Example: Research on Yoga in [Your City]
1. Yoga Studio X:
- Membership Fee: $60 per month
- Dues: N/A (One-time joining fee: $20)
2. Community Center Yoga Classes:
- Class Fee: $10 per session (pay as you go)
- Dues: N/A (Membership required for other facilities/services)
B. The required equipment for your chosen sport or fitness activity will vary. Here are some common items and their estimated costs:
1. Yoga:
- Yoga Mat: $20-30
- Yoga Blocks: $10-15 each
- Yoga Strap: $10-15
- Yoga Clothing: $20-50 per piece
- Total equipment cost: $60-110 (approx.)
C. The travel distance will depend on the location and availability of sports or fitness facilities in your area. To estimate the transportation cost, assume the cost per mile as $0.30.
Example:
- Distance: 10 miles (one way)
- Round trip: 2 * 10 miles = 20 miles
- Transportation cost: 20 miles * $0.30 = $6
D. To calculate the annual total cost, you need to consider the items from sections A, B, and C as follows:
Example Calculation:
Annual total cost for Yoga at Yoga Studio X:
- Membership fee: $60/month * 12 months = $720
- Equipment cost: $60-110 (depending on chosen items)
- Transportation cost: $6 * 4 weeks * 12 months = $288
Total annual cost: $720 + Equipment cost + $288 (transportation) = Total annual cost
Note: The equipment cost will vary based on personal preferences and the quality of items chosen. The transportation cost may vary depending on the distance and mode of transport used. Adjust calculations accordingly.
It is essential to conduct your own research and gather specific information related to your chosen sport or fitness activity, as fees, equipment costs, and transportation expenses can vary greatly depending on location and individual circumstances.
