You are considering starting a walk-in clinic. Your financial projections for the first year of
operations are as follows:
Revenue (10000 visits) $394,007
Wages and benefit
$226,585
Rent
$4,095
Depreciation
$29,179
Utilities
$2,164
Medical supplies
$49,632
Administrative supplies
$9,163
Assume that all costs are fixed, except supply costs, which are variable. Furthermore, assume
that the clinic must pay taxes at a 31 percent rate. What number of visits is required to
provide you with an after-tax profit of $108,247?
[Hint: Remember that after-tax profit = before-tax profit * (1- tax rate).]
(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. For
example, 12.3456 should be entered as 12.35. REMINDER: quantities are always rounded
