Assume that the manager of the rehabilitation department of Getwell Hospital is setting the price on a new outpatient service for electrical stimulation of muscles. Here are the relevant data estimates:
Variable cost per visit: $15.00
Annual direct fixed costs: $650,000
Annual overhead allocation: $75,000
Expected annual visits: 8,000
What price per visit must be set for the service to breakeven?
The Audiology Department at Randall Clinic offers many services to the clinic’s patients. The three most common, along with cost and utilization data, are as follows:
Service
Variable cost per service
Annual Direct fixed Cost
Annual number of visits
Basic examination
$5
$50,000
30,000
Advanced examination
7
30,000
1,500
Therapy section

What is the fee schedule for these services, assuming that the goal is to cover only variable and direct fixed costs?
Assume that the Audiology Department is allocated $100,000 in total overhead by the clinic, and the department director has allocated $50,000 of this amount to the three services listed above. What is the fee schedule assuming that these overhead costs must be covered? (To answer this question, assume that the allocation of overhead costs to each service is made on the basis of number of visits.)
Assume that these services must make a combined profit of $25,000. Now, what is the…
The Housekeeping Services Department of Ruger Clinic, had $100,000 in direct costs during the year.
Department Revenue HK Hours
Adult Services $3,000,000 1,500
Pediatric Services $1,500,000 3,000
Other Services $ 500,000 500
Total $5,000,000 5,000
What is the value of the cost pool?
Which of the two cost drivers is better? Patient service revenue or housekeeping hours? Why?

- Sacred Heart Hospital (SHH) faces skyrocketing nursing costs, all of which relate to its two biggest nursing service linesthe Emergency Room (ER) and the Operating Room (OR). SHHs current cost system assigns total nursing costs to the ER and OR based on the number of patients serviced by each line. Total hospital annual nursing costs for these two lines are expected to equal 300,000. The table below shows expected patient volume for both lines. After discussion with several experienced nurses, Jack Bauer (SHHs accountant) decided that assigning nursing costs to the two service lines based on the number of times that nurses must check patients vital signs might more closely match the underlying use of costly hospital resources. Therefore, for comparative purposes, Jack decided to develop a second cost system that assigns total nursing costs to the ER and OR based on the number of times nurses check patients vital signs. This system is referred to as the vital-signs costing system. The earlier table also shows data for vital signs checks for lines. In an effort to better plan for and control OR costs, SHH management asked Jack to calculate the flexible budget variance (i.e., flexible budget costs - actual costs) for OR nursing costs, including the price variance and efficiency variance. Given that Jack is interested in comparing the reported costs of both systems, he decided to prepare the requested OR variance analysis for both the current cost system and the vital-signs costing system. In addition, Jack chose to use each cost systems estimate of the cost per OR nursing hour as the standard cost per OR nursing hour. Jack collected the following additional information for use in preparing the flexible budget variance for both systems: Actual number of surgeries performed = 950 Standard number of nursing hours allowed for each OR surgery = 5 Actual number of OR nursing hours used = 5,000 Actual OR nursing costs = 190,000 What does each of the calculated variances suggest to Jack regarding actions that he should or should not take with respect to investigating and improving each variance? Also, briefly explain why the variances differ between the two cost systems.arrow_forwardThe Two Cost Systems Sacred Heart Hospital (SHH) faces skyrocketing nursing costs, all of which relate to its two biggest nursing service linesthe Emergency Room (ER) and the Operating Room (OR).

- what are the two major differences for service companies (compared to manufacturing companies) that use a job order cost system? A hospital has a kitchen which provides meals to all patients. The kitchen has annual costs of $520,000. What is one possible activity base that they could use to allocate the costs of the kitchen to patients in the hospital? A new company, with only one product, estimates their annual sales will be 20,000 units although their current facility could produce up to 35,000 units. Each unit will sell for $34 and has variable costs that add up to $19 per unit. The company has fixed costs of $550,000. What is the company's break-even point? After calculating their break-even point, what advice would you give to the company's owner?arrow_forwardHealth-Temp Company is a placement agency for temporary nurses. It serves hospitals and clinics throughout the metropolitan area. Health-Temp Company believes it will place temporary nurses for a total of 23,500 hours next year. Health-Temp charges the hospitals and clinics 90 per hour and has variable costs of 75.60 per hour (this includes the payment to the nurse). Total fixed costs equal 321,000. Required: 1. Calculate the contribution margin per unit and the contribution margin ratio. 2. Calculate the sales revenue needed to break even. 3. Calculate the sales revenue needed to achieve a target profit of 100,000. 4. What if Health-Temp had target operating income (profit) of 110,000? Would sales revenue be larger or smaller than the one calculated in Requirement 3? Why? By how much?arrow_forwardProvidence Hospital generates monthly performance reports for each of its departments. The hospital must maintain an adequate staff of attending and on-call physicians at all times, so physician costs are not affected by the number of patient visits. But all other costs do vary with patient activity. Nurse- hours are used as the activity measure for nursing costs, and patient visits are used as the activity measure for the cost of supplies and other variable costs. The head physician of the hospital's emergency room, Yolanda Mortensen, is responsible for control of costs. During October, the emergency room unit expected to treat 3,500 patients but actually treated 4,000 patients. The following additional information for October is available: Budget Actual Variance Nurse-hours 2,100 2,320 -220 Nursing costs $46,200 $30,000 $16,200 Supplies & other variable $38,500 $25,500 $13,000 costs Fixed costs $104,200 $109,900 $-5,700 Required Compute the flexible-budget variances for each of the…arrow_forward
