  • 1. How does this revenue mix compare with the revenue blend of the not-for-profit entity, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (ALSAC)? Access the latest SEC filing and compare the reported revenue mix; has it changed?
  • 2. What does that imply as to the strategies of investor-owned hospitals in managing risk and ensuring adequate capital relative to not-for-profit entities? An opportunity exists to explore the greater social and political questions that are frequently debated about the compatibility of profit-oriented entities and quality of health care, relative to not-for-profit entities. As background, identify what the latest SEC filings report concerning charity care.

Van Rushing Hunting Goods’ fiscal year ends on December 31. At the end of the 2021 fiscal year, the company had notes payable of $20.0 million due on February 8, 2022. Rushing sold 5.5 million shares of its $0.25 par, common stock on February 3, 2022, for $16.5 million. The proceeds from that sale along with $3.5 million from the maturation of some 3-month CDs were used to pay the notes payable on February 8. Through his attorney, one of Rushing’s construction workers notified management on January 5, 2022, that he planned to sue the company for $1 million related to a work-site injury on December 20, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, management had been unaware of the injury, but reached an agreement on February 23, 2022, to settle the matter by paying the employee’s medical bills of $84,500. Rushing’s financial statements were finalized on March 3, 2022. Required:

1. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among current liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021?

2. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among long-term liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021?

3. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among current liabilities and long-term liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 if the settlement agreement had occurred on March 15, 2022, instead?

4. What amount(s) if any, related to the situations described should Rushing report among current liabilities and long-term liabilities in its balance sheet at December 31, 2021 if the work-site injury had occurred on January 3, 2022, instead? (For all requirements, enter your answers in whole dollars.)

You are encouraged to research outside sources and, of course, cite them. Do not, however, quote sources word-for-word, but rather, respond to the Discussion Forum Question in your own words.

1.     Identify four reasons that capital budgeting decisions by managers are risky.

2.     Why is an investment more attractive to management if it has a shorter payback period?

3.     Why should managers set the required rate of return higher than the rate at which money can be borrowed when making a typical capital budgeting decision?

4.     Why does the use of the accelerated depreciation method (instead of straight line) for income tax reporting increase an investment’s value?

After you’ve completed the questions above, please provide a brief explanation of how this information is important in managerial decision making. (500 minimum word count, references excluded)

Bay Area Limos operates transportation services to Bay City airport. The price of service is fixed...

Bay Area Limos operates transportation services to Bay City airport. The price of service is fixed at a flat rate for each trip and most costs of providing the service are fixed for each trip. Betty Smith, the owner, forecasts income by estimating two factors that fluctuate with the economy: the fuel cost associated with the trip and the number of customers who would take trips. Looking at next year, Betty develops the following estimates of contribution margin (price less variable costs, including fuel) for the estimated number of customers. For simplicity, she assumes that the fuel costs (therefore the contribution margin per ride) and the number of customers are independent.

Contribution Margin
per Ride
  Scenario (Price - Variable cost) Number of Customers
  Excellent $ 45                 5,500                  
  Fair 35                 2,800                  
  Poor 20                 2,200                  

In addition to the costs of a ride, Betty estimates that other service costs are $42,000 plus $6 for each customer (ride) in excess of 2,800 rides. Annual administrative and marketing costs are estimated to be $20,000 plus 10 percent of the contribution margin.

Required:

Compute the total contribution, costs and operating profit for each of the scenario and each group of customer. (Input all amounts as positive values except losses which should be indicated with a minus sign. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

The London Private Hospital has 3 patient services departments – Adult Medicine, Obstetrics and Paediatrics. It also has 3 patient support departments – administration, Facilities and Finance. The revenues of the three patient services departments are:

Adult medicine $12 million

Obstetrics $6 million

Paediatrics $2 million

The direct costs of all 6 departments are:

Adult medicine $6 million

Obstetrics $3.6 million

Paediatrics $1.2 million

Administration $1 million

Facilities $4.4 million

Finance $1.8 million

Direct costs of the support departments are allocated to patient services departments using the direct method on the basis of the % of services provided to the support departments to the patient service departments.

The table below gives the percentages of support provided by the support departments to both each other and the services departments. For example, 10% of admin’s services are provided to the finance department and 20% to obstetrics

% of services provided by
service to provide admin facilities finance
admin 0 5 5
facilities 10 0 5
finance 10 10 0
adult medicine 35 55 50
obstetrics 20 10 25
paediatrics 25 20 15
Total 100 100 100

Allocate the support overheads to the 3 patient service departments on the basis of the % of services provided.

b. Calculate the profit and loss position for each of the patient service departments and the hospital as a whole.

c. Should the hospital consider closing down any or all of the patient service departments to increase its profitability or reduce its losses? Explain why or why not.

Hint: All costs of the supporting units are to be allocated to cost objects.

Hint: Allocations rate depends solely on each cost object's cost driver and how much in total is allocated to cost objects

Hint: Allocation rates have a numerator and denominator component. The key is to adjust these based on information provided in the question.
