1. In the past, the medical center has aggregated all facilities costs, and then allocated the total amount on the basis of square footage. This methodology assigns an average cost rate to each patient service department regardless of whether its space is new or old, or prime or poor. The proposed allocation for the Dialysis Center, on the other hand, requires it to bear the true facilities costs of its new space. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the new methodology? Do you support the new allocation scheme?

Consider that you are 35 years old and have just changed to a new job. You have $146,000 in the retirement plan from your former employer. You can roll that money into the retirement plan of the new employer. You will also contribute $6,800 each year into your new employer’s plan. If the rolled-over money and the new contributions both earn a return of 6 percent, how much should you expect to have when you retire in 30 years?
