Jackson County Senior Services is a nonprofit organization devoted to providing essential ser-vices to seniors who live in their own homes within the Jackson County area.

VIP-MD is a health maintenance organization (HMO) located in North Carolina. Unlike the traditional fee-for-service model that determines the payment according to the actual services used or costs incurred, VIP-MD receives a fixed, prepaid amount from subscribers. The per member, per month rate (PMPM) is determined by estimating the health care cost per enrollee within a geographic location. The average health care coverage in North Carolina costs $364 per month, which is the same amount irrespective of the subscriber’s age. Because individuals are demanding quality care at reasonable rates, VIP-MD must contain its costs to remain competitive. A major competitor, National Physicians, entered the North Carolina market early in the current year with a monthly premium of $321. VIP-MD wants to maintain its current market penetration and hopes to increase its enrollees in the current year. The latest data on the number of enrollees and the associated costs follow: Age Enrollment in…
The Vest School of Vocational Technology has organized the school training programs into three departments. Each department provides training in a different area as follows: nursing assistant, dental hygiene, and office technology. The school's owner, Candice Vest, wants to know how much it cost to operate each of the three departments. To accumulate the total cost for each department, the accountant has identified several indirect costs that must be allocated to each. These costs are $10,080 of telephone expense, $2,016 of supplies expense, $720,000 of office rent, $144,000 of janitorial services, and $150,000 of salary paid to the dean of students.

Elmo Clinic has identified three activities for daily maternity care: occupancy and feeding, nursing, and nursing supervision. The nursing supervisor oversees 150 nurses, 25 of whom are maternity nurses (the other nurses are located in other care areas such as the emergency room and intensive care). The nursing supervisor has three assistants, a secretary, several offices, computers, phones, and furniture. The three assistants spend 75% of their time on the supervising activity and 25% of their time as surgical nurses. They each receive a salary of $60,000. The nursing supervisor has a salary of $80,000. She spends 100% of her time supervising. The secretary receives a salary of $35,000 per year.
