Englert Hospital began using standards to evaluate its Admissions Department. The standard was broken into two types of admissions as follows: Type of Admission Standard Time to Complete Admission Record Unscheduled admission 30 min. Scheduled admission 15 min. The unscheduled admission took longer because name, address, and insurance information needed to be determined and verified at the time of admission. Information was collected on scheduled admissions prior to the admissions, which was less time-consuming. The Admissions Department employs four full-time people (40 productive hours per week, with no overtime) at $15 per hour. For the most recent week, the department handled 140 unscheduled and 350 scheduled admissions. a. How much was actually spent on labor for the week?
