City Home Care (CHC) hires a furnished office at $4000 per month, telephones at $400 a month, and a secretary at $4000 per month. These resources do not change, no matter how many clients are visited. Currently, CHC sees 900 patients a month, each three times (2700 visits in total). CHC uses 30 full-time nurses with their own cars, and they are paid $8000 per month each. There is a plentiful supply of additional nurses in town. These nurses can be hired almost on notice. Supplies are $40 per patient per month. What are the monthly money costs of operating CHC at its current level? Approximately how much would it cost to operate CHC at a level of 3150 visits per month assuming patients continued to be seen three times each month, and nurses were working at full capacity at the original level of patient visits?
