Problem 1c: Consider the following information for Rosebud Lane Hospital. The number of admissions for the year are expected to equal 1000, but could vary from 750 to 1250. Rosebud's fee-for-service is $2,000 under a prospective payment system. Under a capitation reimbursement system, Rosebud must cover 1000 patients at a capitation payment of $2,000. Rosebud's annual fixed costs are $500,000 and it variable cost per admission is $1,500.
1c. Calculate Rosebud's net profit under the Fee For Service Reimbursement method if admissions are 1250. (Answer to the nearest dollar. Do not include the dollar sign in your answer.)
1d. Calculate Rosebud's net profit under Capitation if admissions are 1250. (Answer to the nearest dollar. Do not include the dollar sign in your answer.)

- Keating Hospital is considering two different low-field MRI systems: the Clearlook System and the Goodview System. The projected annual revenues, annual costs, capital outlays, and project life for each system (in after-tax cash flows) are as follows: Assume that the cost of capital for the company is 8 percent. Required: 1. Calculate the NPV for the Clearlook System. 2. Calculate the NPV for the Goodview System. Which MRI system would be chosen? 3. What if Keating Hospital wants to know why IRR is not being used for the investment analysis? Calculate the IRR for each project and explain why it is not suitable for choosing among mutually exclusive investments.arrow_forwardBelow are the projected revenues and expenses for a new clinical nurse specialist program being established by a hospital.
