When the Exotic Newcastle disease (an infectious disease) broke out in southern California in 2003, it could have spelled disaster for the San Diego zoo. The zoo spent almost half a million dollars on quarantine measures in 2003. It worked: no birds got sick and the damage to the zoo's budget was minimized by a monthly budget re forecast. The new planning process introduced a year earlier, allowed the zoo to redirect resources to ward off the disease. The San Diego zoo's annual static budget was behind the times before Paula Brock took over as CFO in 2001. Brock's first efforts were link strategy to the process. Consultants believe it is a key way to improve people's involvement in budgeting. What is the major benefit of tying the budget to the overall goals of the company?
In the aftermath of Hurricane Thelma, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is considering two alternative approaches to protect a freshwater wetland from the encroaching seawater during high tides. The first alternative, the construction of a 5-mile long, 20-foot-high levee, would have an investment cost of $25,000,000 with annual upkeep costs estimated at$725,000. A new roadway along the top of the levee would provide two major benefits: (1) improved recreational access for fishermen and (2) reduction of the driving distance between the towns at opposite ends of the proposed levee by 11 miles. The annual benefit for the levee has been estimated at $1,500,000. The second alternative, a channel-dredging operation, would have an investment cost of $15,000,000. The annual cost of maintaining the channel is estimated at $375,000. There are no documented benefits for the channel-dredging project. Using a MARR of 8% and assuming a 25-year life for either alternative, apply the incremental B–C…

MGMT Hospital Inc is a private concern that recently opened it doors to the public in the suburbs amidst heavy traffic. There are hardly any quiet nights. Sirens are a constant feature. However, once inside, there is just the hustle and bustle of hospital staff going back and forth. A hospital readmission is when a patient who is discharged from the hospital, is re-admitted again within a certain period of time. Hospital readmission rates for certain conditions are now considered an indicator of hospital quality, and also affect the cost of care adversely. For this reason, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services established the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) which aims to improve quality of care for patients and reduce health care spending by applying payment penalties to hospitals that have more than expected readmission rates for certain conditions. Although diabetes is not yet included in the penalty measures, the program is regularly adding new disease…
