- In the cost formula, the term 128,000,000 a. is the total variable cost. b. is the dependent variable. c. is the variable rate. d. is the total fixed cost. e. cannot be determined from the above formula. Use the following information for Multiple-Choice Questions 3-4 through 3-7: The following cost formula was developed by using monthly data for a hospital. Total Cost = 128,000,000 + (12,000 Number of Patient Days)In the cost formula, the term 12,000 a. is the variable rate. b. is the dependent variable. c. is the independent variable. d. is the intercept. e. cannot be determined from the above formula. Use the following information for Multiple-Choice Questions 3-4 through 3-7: The following cost formula was developed by using monthly data for a hospital. Total Cost = 128,000,000 + (12,000 Number of Patient Days)Sacred Heart Hospital (SHH) faces skyrocketing nursing costs, all of which relate to its two biggest nursing service linesthe Emergency Room (ER) and the Operating Room (OR). SHHs current cost system assigns total nursing costs to the ER and OR based on the number of patients serviced by each line. Total hospital annual nursing costs for these two lines are expected to equal 300,000. The table below shows expected patient volume for both lines. After discussion with several experienced nurses, Jack Bauer (SHHs accountant) decided that assigning nursing costs to the two service lines based on the number of times that nurses must check patients vital signs might more closely match the underlying use of costly hospital resources. Therefore, for comparative purposes, Jack decided to develop a second cost system that assigns total nursing costs to the ER and OR based on the number of times nurses check patients vital signs. This system is referred to as the vital-signs costing system. The earlier table also shows data for vital signs checks for lines. In an effort to better plan for and control OR costs, SHH management asked Jack to calculate the flexible budget variance (i.e., flexible budget costs - actual costs) for OR nursing costs, including the price variance and efficiency variance. Given that Jack is interested in comparing the reported costs of both systems, he decided to prepare the requested OR variance analysis for both the current cost system and the vital-signs costing system. In addition, Jack chose to use each cost systems estimate of the cost per OR nursing hour as the standard cost per OR nursing hour. Jack collected the following additional information for use in preparing the flexible budget variance for both systems: Actual number of surgeries performed = 950 Standard number of nursing hours allowed for each OR surgery = 5 Actual number of OR nursing hours used = 5,000 Actual OR nursing costs = 190,000 What does each of the calculated variances suggest to Jack regarding actions that he should or should not take with respect to investigating and improving each variance? Also, briefly explain why the variances differ between the two cost systems.
- The Two Cost Systems Sacred Heart Hospital (SHH) faces skyrocketing nursing costs, all of which relate to its two biggest nursing service linesthe Emergency Room (ER) and the Operating Room (OR). SHHs current cost system assigns total nursing costs to the ER and OR based on the number of patients serviced by each line. Total hospital annual nursing costs for these two lines are expected to equal 300,000. The table below shows expected patient volume for both lines. Calculate the amount of nursing costs that the current cost system assigns to the ER and to the OR.Weber Valley Regional Hospital has collected data on all of its activities for the past 16 months. Data for cardiac nursing care follow: Required: 1. Using the high-low method, calculate the variable rate per hour and the fixed cost for the nursing care activity. 2. Run a regression on the data, using hours of nursing care as the independent variable. Predict cost for the cardiac nursing care for September Year 2 if 1,400 hours of nursing care are forecast. Evaluate the regression equation. How comfortable are you with the predicted cost for September Year 2? 3. Upon looking into the events that happened at the end of Year 1, you find that the cardiology ward bought a cardiac-monitoring machine for the nursing station. Administrators also decided to add a new supervisory position for the evening shift. Monthly depreciation on the monitor and the salary of the new supervisor together total 10,000. Now, run two regression equations, one for the observations from Year 1 and the second using only the observations for the eight months in Year 2. Discuss your findings. What is your predicted cost of the cardiac nursing care activity for September Year 2?The Two Cost Systems Sacred Heart Hospital (SHH) faces skyrocketing nursing costs, all of which relate to its two biggest nursing service linesthe Emergency Room (ER) and the Operating Room (OR).

- Show a detailed, step by step process for the following question below: “Apollo is a local hospital that offers two types of procedures. Currently, Apollo uses a simple system to calculate the overhead cost per treatment. This is done by taking the total overhead cost and dividing it by the number of treatments. Using this method, the full cost for each procedure is shown below: Procedure X Y Direct costs per procedure £2,610 £1,560 Full cost per procedure £2,831 £1,781 Recently, another competitor has implemented activity based costing (ABC). This has led the finance director to consider whether this alternative costing technique would bring any benefits. She has obtained an analysis of Apollo’s total overheads for the last year and some additional data, all of which is shown below:” Cost Cost driver Administrative costs Administrative time per procedure £935,080 Nursing costs Length of patient stay £3,127,808 Catering…Show a detailed, step by step process for the following question below: “Apollo is a local hospital that offers two types of procedures.
