It is the second Monday night in October and it is now 3 a.m. You cannot sleep. You are the CFO of Marysville General Hospital, a 300-bed community hospital in the Midwest. Your hospital board meets at noon on the second Tuesday of each month. You have a truly awful report to give the board, and you are dreading it more than anything else you've done in your 15-year career as a hospital senior manager. The target for days in accounts receivable (which the board and CEO set some years ago) is 55 days. When AR days are at 55, cash flow to the hospital is strong and you can meet all monthly obligations while putting some money away into investments for the hospital’s future. It has been several years now since the hospital has seen its AR at 55 days. There have been many factors, but AR has been in the 70–80 day range for some time now. Last month it crept up over 90 days, and this month you have the painful task of reporting to the board and CEO that the hospital is carrying 100 days in accounts receivable. You must come up with a plan to bring AR days back in line, and you will not be able to accomplish that alone. It will take cooperation from the medical staff, the clinical departments, health information management, the business office, and many others. But it must happen and it must happen soon, or your community could actually lose its hospital. Your Role/Assignment Come up with a plan to bring AR days back in line. It will take cooperation from the medical staff, the clinical departments, health information management, the business office, and many others, so include how you will involve these departments in devising a solution. As you prepare your process improvement plan, keep the following in mind. What further data collection will you conduct before beginning to write your plan? What will be the elements of your plan? For each element, who will be the key players and what will be their roles? What resources outside of senior management will you engage? How will you present your plan at the board meeting? How will you know that your plan has been effective?

“I know headquarters wants us to add that new product line,” said Dell Havasi, manager of Billings Company’s Office Products Division. “But I want to see the numbers before I make any move. Our division’s return on investment (ROI) has led the company for three years, and I don’t want any letdown.”

Billings Company is a decentralized wholesaler with five autonomous divisions. The divisions are evaluated on the basis of ROI, with year-end bonuses given to the divisional managers who have the highest ROIs. Operating results for the company’s Office Products Division for this year are given below:

Sales: $22,235,000. Variable expenses: 13,981,800. Contribution margin: 8,253,200. Fixed expenses: 6,100,000. Net operating income: $2,153,200. Divisional average operating assets: $4,625,000.

The company had an overall return on investment (ROI) of 17.00% this year (considering all divisions).

The cost and revenue characteristics of the new product line per year would be:

Sales: $9,600,000. Variable expenses: 65% of sales. Fixed expenses: $2,582,400.

Required:

1. Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for this year.

2. Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for the new product line by itself.

3. Compute the Office Products Division’s ROI for next year assuming that it performs the same as this year and adds the new product line.

4. If you were in Dell Havasi’s position, would you accept or reject the new product line?

5. Why do you suppose headquarters is anxious for the Office Products Division to add the new product line?

6. Suppose that the company’s minimum required rate of return on operating assets is 14% and that performance is evaluated using residual income.

a. Compute the Office Products Division’s residual income for this year.

b. Compute the Office Products Division’s residual income for the new product line by itself.

c. Compute the Office Products Division’s residual income for next year assuming that it performs the same as this year and adds the new product line.
