The San Lowsingso Hospital near Sacramento, California, charges a group of patients a total of $1 million. Historically, this group has only been charged 45 percent of the total because of explicit and implicit price concessions. After that, the hospital estimates that it has a 40 percent chance of collecting the entire amount but a 60 percent chance of collecting 70 percent. What amount of patient service revenues are recognized? Assume the most likely outcome approach is applied?

Since some patients require more monitoring than others, these activities should be separated. Third, the daily rate should reflect the difference in demands resulting from differences in patient type. Separating the occupancy activity into two separate activities also required the determination of the cost of each activity. Determining the costs…
