You are the newly appointed manager of Alpine Ambulatory Surgery Center. Congratulations! One of the first tasks you have is to decide how costs should be allocated from support departments to patient care departments in your organization. You have three support departments: administration, housekeeping, and building maintenance. Administration includes human resources, billing and collection, purchasing and of course, your executive office. Housekeeping includes janitorial services for the entire building and laundry/linen cleaning. Building maintenance includes utilities, repairs/maintenance services. You have four patient care departments: surgery, recovery, laboratory and radiology. Your task for this discussion is the following: Describe which allocation method you would use (direct or step down) and why you would recommend that method. Describe how you would allocate costs from support departments to your patient care departments. Be specific as to the cost drivers you will use for each. Describe at least one potential problem you may have in terms of the perceived fairness of your allocation decisions. What would you do to address that limitation?

Re-write the following resignation letter in a professional and etiquette manner

Hey boss:

Finally, is the hour that I has dreamed about 4 years ago where I inform you that I must resign immediately from my position as a counselor.

Three weeks ago, my supervisor informed me that you were criticizing my latest behavior and that you have accused me with violations of company policy by ignoring your orders. But it seems that you have forget that I am a human bean not your slave, and dictatorship atmosphere you eventually destroy you and you foolish employees.

I really regret for every hour I have spent at your company and I will not spend any minute in transferring my files to anyone else, I am sure that you will figure them out by yourselves if you can play chess effectively.

Finally, I will give you 8 days to transfer my savings to my bank account otherwise I will sue you and go to the media for stealing my savings

   		spatial summation
   		summed twitches
   		graded potential synergy
