Technology's Influence. Imagine you work in the accounting department of a big Hollywood studio. Pick a recent big-budget movie with lots of special effects. Research the Internet for the production costs of the movie. How much did the movie cost to make? How much of the budget was spent on special effects? What percentage of the budget was this? How much money did the movie make in its first month? How many months would it take at this rate to cover the costs of the special effects? How many months would it take for the movie to start making a profit? Put together a report outlining this information.
