Problem 1c: Consider the following information for Rosebud Lane Hospital. The number of admissions for the year are expected to equal 1000, but could vary from 750 to 1250. Rosebud's fee-for-service is $2,000 under a prospective payment system. Under a capitation reimbursement system, Rosebud must cover 1000 patients at a capitation payment of $2,000. Rosebud's annual fixed costs are $500,000 and it variable cost per admission is $1,500.
1c. Calculate Rosebud's net profit under the Fee For Service Reimbursement method if admissions are 1250. (Answer to the nearest dollar. Do not include the dollar sign in your answer.)
1d. Calculate Rosebud's net profit under Capitation if admissions are 1250. (Answer to the nearest dollar. Do not include the dollar sign in your answer.)

Variable cost per visit: $15.00
Annual direct fixed costs: $650,000
Annual overhead allocation: $75,000
Expected annual visits: 8,000

- The cost data for BC Billing Solutions for the year 2020 is as follows: Using the high-low method, express the companys overtime wages as an equation where x represents number of invoices processed. Assume BC has monthly fixed costs of $3,800. Predict the overtime wages if 9,000 invoices are processed. Predict the overtime wages if 6,500 invoices are processed. Using Excel, create a scatter graph of the cost data and explain the relationship between the number of invoices processed and overtime wage expense.arrow_forwardKeating Hospital is considering two different low-field MRI systems: the Clearlook System and the Goodview System. The projected annual revenues, annual costs, capital outlays, and project life for each system (in after-tax cash flows) are as follows: Assume that the cost of capital for the company is 8 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the NPV for the Clearlook System. 2. Calculate the NPV for the Goodview System. Which MRI system would be chosen? 3. What if Keating Hospital wants to know why IRR is not being used for the investment analysis? Calculate the IRR for each project and explain why it is not suitable for choosing among mutually exclusive investments.arrow_forwardThomas Consultants provided Bran Construction with assistance in implementing various cost-savings initiatives.Thomas’s contract specifies that it will receive a flat fee of $50,000 and an additional $20,000 if Bran reaches aprespecified target amount of cost savings.

- Lutheran Regional Hospital uses a planning process to define a new radiology service line. The decision matrix gave it a high priority, and administrators want to evaluate its financial feasibility. Estimated fixed costs are $1 million, and the estimated net reimbursement level is $1,500 per procedure. Physician and other provider salaries on a direct basis are $340 per procedure, and total operating expenses will add another $160 per procedure. Calculate the breakeven point for this potential new service line.arrow_forwardNow assume that the additional patients will add $200,000 in total to theCenter’s fixed costs. Now what is the expected profit on 20 new patients?On 40 new patients? (No new fixed costs are required to support the secondgroup of 20 patients.)arrow_forwardYou are asked to recommend whether a firm should make or purchase product A. The following are data conceming the two options For the purchase option, the firm can buy product A at $19 per unit. For the make option, the firm can produce product A based on the following cost estimation data. The firm has to pay a weekly rental payment of $19,000 for the production facility With the use of this facility, the firm also has to hire five operators to help make product A Each operator works eight hours per day, five days per week at the rate of $10 per hour. In other words, the rental and labor expenses are fixed costs. The material cost for the make option is $14 per unit of product A a. Find a weekly amount of product A that provides the breakeven point for the firm. The breakeven point in this problem indicates the firm's indifference between purchasing or making product A. b. If the firm estimates the sale of product A to be 5,600 units per week, should it make or purchase product A? a.…arrow_forward

Your financial projections for the first year of operations are as follows: Revenue (10000 visits) $394,007 Wages and benefit $226,585 Rent $4,095 Depreciation $29,179 Utilities $2,164 Medical supplies $49,632 Administrative supplies $9,163 Assume that all costs are fixed, except supply costs, which are variable. Furthermore, assume that the clinic must pay taxes at a 31 percent rate. What number of visits is required to provide you with an after-tax profit of $108,247? [Hint: Remember that after-tax profit = before-tax profit * (1- tax rate).] (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. For example, 12.3456 should be entered as 12.35. REMINDER: quantities are always rounded UP. Canvas does not have this capability.)arrow_forwardCitizen Hines HMO uses primary care provider (PCP) contracts that set the PCP capitation rate at $15 per member per month (PMPM). Citizen Hines also contributes $45 PMPM to an institutional inpatient services risk pool and $30 PMPM to a specialist services risk pool. In addition, the contract includes a provision requiring a 20% withhold. Suppose the amount of Physician B's compensation withheld amount is 20% and their specialty services budget was $400,000 and incurred $412,000 in actual specialty expenses. If the distribution from the risk pool is based on individual behavior, what was her return from the risk pool at the end of the period?arrow_forward
