- The POS requires that the employee pay $43.01 per month to supplement the cost of the program with the company’s payment. If Ron uses health care providers within the plan, he pays the copayments as described above for the HMO with no annual deductible. He can also choose to use a health care provider out of the network and pay 30 percent of all charges after he pays a $630 deductible. The POS will pay for 70 percent of those covered visits. Ronald decided to review his medical bills from the previous year to see what costs he had incurred and to help him evaluate his choices. He visited his general physician three times during the year at a cost of $210 for each visit. He also spent $83 and $107 on two prescriptions during the year. Assume Ron visited a physician outside of the network plan but had his prescriptions filled at a network-approved pharmacy. If Ronald selects the POS plan, what will his annual medical costs be?

A producer of felt-tip pens has received a forecast of demand of at least 50,000 pens for the coming month from its marketing department. Fixed costs are $20,000 per month, and variable costs are 25 cents per pen. a. Find the break-even quantity the company must produce if pens sell for $1.50 each. b. Find the quantity to be produced to realize a profit of $20,000. 70arrow_forwardProfessor John Morton has just been appointed chairperson of the Finance Department at Westland University. In reviewing the department’s cost records, Professor Morton found the following total cost associated with Finance 101 over the last five terms: Term Number of Sections Offered Total Cost Fall, last year 7 $ 13,500 Winter, last year 3 $ 8,000 Summer, last year 6 $ 12,000 Fall, this year 2 $ 6,500 Winter, this year 4 $ 10,000 Professor Morton knows there are some variable costs, such as amounts paid to graduate assistants, associated with the course. He would like to have the variable and fixed costs separated for planning purposes. Required: 2-a. Using the least-squares regression method, estimate the variable cost per section and the total fixed cost per term for Finance 101. 2-b. Express these estimates in the form Y = a + bX. 3-a. Assume because of the small number of sections offered during the Winter Term this year, Professor Morton will have to…arrow_forward

The local hospital offers an incentive for nurses to work longer shifts. After a regular 8-hour shift, they can make double time on the remainder of their shift. That is, they make twice their salary for each hour they work over 8 hours. Nurse Jane works 12 hour shifts Monday through Friday.

The ordering costs are $150 per order and holding costs are $1.50 per item per annum. The company is offered a 5% discount (discounted price is $1.90) for orders of 5000 and over. Order cost and holding cost remain at $150 per order and $1.50 respectively. Assuming that the company orders 5000 items per order, calculate the number of orders per annum, average stock, annual stock holding cost, annual order cost, annual inventory cost and the total annual cost of items and inventory.arrow_forward
