You have been promoted to Assistant Director of your Laboratory Department. One of your first assignments is to prepare a recommendation for the replacement of one of your Coulter Counters.

Your Department Director has asked that you work with the Financial staff in preparing this recommendation. Upon contacting the financial staff they tell you that their department has lost a number of analysts and ask if you could help in preparing the analysis since you are a recent graduate of SHU. You tell them that you are well versed in Capital Decision making and would be able to complete the analysis for them and submit to your Department Director.

You decide to prepare a Net Present Value Analysis and begin the discussions with your staff. They emphasize to you the importance of replacing the existing equipment due to quality and safety concerns for the patient. You first plan on completing a Time Line and from the discussion with the staff plan on incorporating the following assumptions in your analysis:

Assumptions to use:

Time Line for 5 years

Initial cost of equipment $3000000

Additional volume from increased efficiency 1000 test per month

Average reimbursement per test is $50

Cost of supplies will be reduced by $2000 per month

The existing equipment is fully depreciated

The only other expense is the depreciation for the new equipment and it is a non cash item

The financial staff tells you to use 5% as your Cost of Capital

What would be the NPV for your analysis?

Falcon, Inc. has the following assets in service at the end of 2018:

In 2018 Falcon has taxable income of $10,000,000.

Falcon did not utilize a §179 deduction or bonus depreciation prior to 2018. They would like to take the §179 deduction this year.

All assets purchased in 2018 are brand new.

A PEST analysis of the healthcare industry shows how the system works and the change in the future (Frue, 2018). The healthcare industry depends on legislation, changes in economic rates, and technological advancements (Frue, 2018). People begin to worry when there are changes in government and it’s important companies like mine are aware of changes in healthcare (Frue, 2018).

Political factors; Government Subsidies the healthcare industry is impacted by insurance mandates, tax legislation changes, and consumer protection (Frue, 2018). With my chosen company Independence at Home funds are issued from the State because it’s a government program. Government spending for healthcare can be affected by tax policy changes (Frue, 2018). However, allowing for increased subsidies can be a benefit or it can cause concerns (Frue, 2018). Governmental changes can affect the public and the healthcare services they’re entitled to, especially with changing healthcare bills and plans (Frue, 2018).

Economic Factors Loss of Services, healthcare organizations will be affected by many economic factors, especially inflation, unemployment, and interest rates (Frue, 2018). If there is a change to any of those it can change how the public is able to spend their money, impacting policy spending (Frue, 2018). Companies who manufacture medical devices won’t have many people able to pay their rate if unemployment rate is increased (Frue, 2018). This would mean if less people are able to work, they won’t qualify for work benefits, including healthcare (Frue, 2018). People without these benefits are likely not able to pay the entire cost of any hospital or emergency room visit (Frue, 2018). They’re less likely to seek help when they become ill (Frue, 2018). The public will have a limited selected of health services they can afford (Frue, 2018). My company with our different programs can help older adults with healthcare services healthcare insurance.

Social factors change in beliefs, healthcare relies on understanding the changes in demographics and public values (Frue, 2018). There are communities that share fears, beliefs, and cultural norms (Frue, 2018). If a healthcare professional or hospital is not aware of these conditions while they treat that public, it can cause problems (Frue, 2018). Medical professionals need to stay on their toes about new trends (Frue, 2018). An example would be the use of essential oils as a cure for various illnesses including cases of flu, fevers and even incurable conditions like autism are on the rise (Frue, 2018). Now people have become more health conscious (Frue, 2018). Some business across the country must now post calorie amount of each item on their menu, giving people the option to choose what to eat based on these numbers (Frue, 2018).

Technological factors in the healthcare industry is seeing positive changes in treatments because of technological advancements (Frue, 2018). Developments with medical devices allow patients to receive better care (Frue, 2018). An example is hearing aid devices have the tools to enhance performance, providing crystal clear sound, less background noise, and premium options for a better hearing experience (Frue, 2018). My chosen company Independence at Home is now exploring sending text messages, emails and app developments for clients and care managers to interact with clients for a better service. More business is using apps to connect doctors with patients right in their homes (Frue, 2018). The healthcare industry is heading towards a positive direction for patient care because of our ever-evolving technology (Frue, 2018).
