CHAPTER 7: SERVICE LINE COSTING AND PRICING Homework 3.1, Chapter 7

a. Your hospital is considering offering a new outpatient service. Using the data below, determine the price needed to breakeven.

RELEVANT DATA:

Variable cost per visit $8

Annual direct fixed costs $650,000

Annual overhead allocation $70,000

Expected utilization (visits) 10,000

b. Assume now that the CEO is requesting to know what price must be set in order to earn a $100,000 profit. What price must be set in order to meet this desired profit level?

Solutions

Expert Solution

a. Computation of price needed to be breakeven at 10,000 visits:

Break Even visits = Fixed Cost/ Contribution Margin per visit

10,000 visit = ($650,000 + $70,000)/ Contribution Margin per visit

Therefore, Contribution Margin per visit = $72

Also, Contribution per visit = Selling price per visit - Variable expense per visit

$72 = Price per visit - $8

Therefore, Price per visit = $80

b.

Computation of Price necessary to attain desired income of $100,000

Desired Contribution = Fixed Cost + Desired income

Desired Contribution = $720,000 + $100,000 = $820,000

Price to achieve contribution of $820,000 at 10,000 visits means contirbution of $82 per visit

Contribution per visit = Selling price per visit - Variable expense per visit

$82 = Price per visit - $8

Therefore, Price per visit = $90
