- Assume that Valley Forge Hospital has only the following three payer groups: Payer Number of Average Revenue Cost Admissions Admission PennCare $3,000 Medicare $4,000 Commercial $2,500 1,000 4,000 8,000 per Admission $5,000 $4,500 $7,000 Variable per The hospital's fixed costs are $38 million. a. Using the profit/loss format from our textbook and PowerPoints in this module, determine the hospital's net income, therefore showing your work to demonstrate how you got to the net income answer. b. Assume that half of the 100,000 covered lives in the commercial payer group (above) will be moved into a capitated plan. All utilization and cost data remain the same. What PMPM rate will the hospital have to charge to retain its Part A net income (what you calculated above)?You first are curious about what the projected net income would be for both the routine care and orthopedics departments after the move. You know this move may have a big impact on your bonus. Using Table 18-6 and Table 18-7 expansion allocation 1, allocate the indirect expenses to both the routine care and orthopedic care departments. Once allocated, you will be able to determine the projected net income for both departments.You first are curious about what the projected net income would be for both the routine care and orthopedics departments after the move. You know this move may have a big impact on your bonus. Using Table 18-6 and Table 18-7 expansion allocation 1, allocate the indirect expenses to both the routine care and orthopedic care departments. Once allocated, you will be able to determine the projected net income for both departments. Interpreting the results from question 1, do you think the cost allocation method of using revenue as a cost driver is a “fair” allocation method? Why or why not? Again, using Table 18-6 and Table 18-7, allocate the indirect expenses based on the square-footage after the expansion. (Routine Care = 50,000 SqFt and Orthopedics = 25,000 SqFt). Now interpret the results from question 3. Is this a “fair” allocation method? Why or why not?
- Q.Estimate total cost for the Sunset Office Park job. How much would LawnCare USA bid to perform the job?Devern Assurance Company provides both property and automobile insurance. The projectedincome statements for the two products are as follows: The president of the company is considering dropping the property insurance. However, somepolicyholders prefer having their property and automobile insurance with the same company, so if property insurance is dropped, sales of automobile insurance will drop by 12 percent. No sig-nificant non-unit-level activity costs are incurred. Required:1. If Devern Assurance Company drops property insurance, by how much will income increaseor decrease? Provide supporting computations. 2. Assume that dropping all advertising for the property insurance line and increasing the cor-porate advertising budget by $450,000 will increase sales of property insurance by 10 percent and automobile insurance by 8 percent. Prepare a segmented income statement that reflectsthe effect of increased advertising. Should advertising be increased?Brindis Babysitting Center currently rents a 1200 sq foot facility for her 20-child facility. Her business has gotten five stars on Yelp, which has prompted more applications. She has to make a decision between expanding her operations to an 1,800 sq foot facility or staying in the current facility. Shown is the cost data of the options: What is the differential cost of the two alternatives: A) move to a larger facility or B) stay in current facility?
- Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data warehouse: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing, or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data warehouse? What is the expected annual cost associated with that recommendation? Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a). What is the probability of the cost exceeding $700,000?Identifying Fixed, Variable, Mixed, and Step Costs Consider each of the following independent situations: a. A computer service agreement in which a company pays 150 per month and 15 per hour of technical time b. Fuel cost of the companys fleet of motor vehicles c. The cost of beer for a bar d. The cost of computer printers and copiers at your college e. Rent for a dental office f. The salary of a receptionist in a law firm g. The wages of counter help in a fast-food restaurant h. The salaries of dental hygienists in a three-dentist office. One hygienist can take care of 120 cleanings per month. i. Electricity cost which includes a 15 per month billing charge and an additional amount depending on the number of kilowatt-hours used Required: 1. For each situation, describe the cost as one of the following: fixed cost, variable cost, mixed cost, or step cost. (Hint: First, consider what the driver or output measure is. If additional assumptions are necessary to support your cost type decision, be sure to write them down.) Example: Raw materials used in productionVariable cost 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Change your assumption(s) for each situation so that the cost type changes to a different cost type. List the new cost type and the changed assumption(s) that gave rise to it. Example: Raw materials used in production. Changed assumptionthe materials are difficult to obtain, and a years worth must be contracted for in advance. Now, this is a fixed cost. (This is the case with diamond sales by DeBeers Inc. to its sightholders. See the following website for information: www.keyguide.net/sightholders/.)Based on the description below, answer the questions that follow. The manager of a local restaurant spends $8,500 for its monthly fixed cost. Its variable cost is $9 per customer. Determine the amount of its Contribution Margin (CM) to generate the EBT of $6,500. (Do not put "$" or "," in your answer. Put only the number. For example put 10000 for $10,000. FYI, the Canvas will put "" automatically by itself. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest dollar.
- Assume that Valley Forge Hospital has only the following three payer groups: Number of Average Revenue Payer Cost Admissions Admission PennCare $3,000 Medicare $4,000 Commercial $2,500 1,000 4,000 8,000 per Admission $5,000 $4,500 $7,000 Variable per The hospital's fixed costs are $38 million. c. What overall net income would be produced if the admission rate of the capitated group (from part B above) were reduced from the commercial level (originally listed as $2,500 total from above) by 10 percent? d. For this same capitated group, assuming that utilization reduction also occurs, what overall net income would be produced if the variable cost per admission for this same capitated group were lowered to $2,200 (from the original $2,500 listed above)?The Two Cost Systems Sacred Heart Hospital (SHH) faces skyrocketing nursing costs, all of which relate to its two biggest nursing service linesthe Emergency Room (ER) and the Operating Room (OR). SHHs current cost system assigns total nursing costs to the ER and OR based on the number of patients serviced by each line. Total hospital annual nursing costs for these two lines are expected to equal 300,000. The table below shows expected patient volume for both lines. Calculate the amount of nursing costs that the current cost system assigns to the ER and to the OR.Sacred Heart Hospital (SHH) faces skyrocketing nursing costs, all of which relate to its two biggest nursing service linesthe Emergency Room (ER) and the Operating Room (OR). SHHs current cost system assigns total nursing costs to the ER and OR based on the number of patients serviced by each line. Total hospital annual nursing costs for these two lines are expected to equal 300,000. The table below shows expected patient volume for both lines. After discussion with several experienced nurses, Jack Bauer (SHHs accountant) decided that assigning nursing costs to the two service lines based on the number of times that nurses must check patients vital signs might more closely match the underlying use of costly hospital resources. Therefore, for comparative purposes, Jack decided to develop a second cost system that assigns total nursing costs to the ER and OR based on the number of times nurses check patients vital signs. This system is referred to as the vital-signs costing system. The earlier table also shows data for vital signs checks for lines. In an effort to better plan for and control OR costs, SHH management asked Jack to calculate the flexible budget variance (i.e., flexible budget costs - actual costs) for OR nursing costs, including the price variance and efficiency variance. Given that Jack is interested in comparing the reported costs of both systems, he decided to prepare the requested OR variance analysis for both the current cost system and the vital-signs costing system. In addition, Jack chose to use each cost systems estimate of the cost per OR nursing hour as the standard cost per OR nursing hour. Jack collected the following additional information for use in preparing the flexible budget variance for both systems: Actual number of surgeries performed = 950 Standard number of nursing hours allowed for each OR surgery = 5 Actual number of OR nursing hours used = 5,000 Actual OR nursing costs = 190,000 What does each of the calculated variances suggest to Jack regarding actions that he should or should not take with respect to investigating and improving each variance? Also, briefly explain why the variances differ between the two cost systems.
