Susan was frustrated. As chair of the school of nursing at the local university, she wantedher students to get used to using electronic health records. Ideally, these students wouldleave her program and be able to use their employer’s EHR system without any additionalorientation. Other campus health profession leaders had similar concerns. However, thefaculty found that within a 100-mile radius of the university, the area’s many hospitals andthree main healthcare systems all used different EHR vendors.The local healthcare systems promoted electronic health information. They were allconcerned about the safety and security of the records and the needs of their patients. Theywere also aware of the national push for system to integrate EHRs.

Nick is planning on starting a mobile pizza oven. He is expecting his customers to spend $20 per pizza. It is estimated that the costs associated with the ingredients will be $5 per pizza. In addition, his fixed costs for renting the mobile oven is $150 per day. 1) How many pizzas does Nick need to sell to break-even per day? 2) If Nick wants to make a profit of $300 and sell 25 pizzas per day, calculate the price he should charge per pizza. 3) If Nick increases the price per pizza to the amount found in part (b) then explain the effect on the break-even number of pizzas sold. Assume the fixed costs and the variable costs remain unchanged. Do not re-calculate the break-even quantity, x, for this question however you may quote the break-even formula and contribution margin to aid your explanation.

Dataware is trying to determine whether to give a $10 rebate, cut the price $6, or have no price change on a software product. Currently, 40,000 units of the product are sold each week for $45 apiece. The variable cost ofthe product is $5. The most likely case appears to bethat a $10 rebate will increase sales 30%, and half of all people will claim the rebate. For the price cut, the most likely case is that sales will increase 20%.a. Given all other assumptions, what increase in sales from the rebate would make the rebate and price cut equally desirable?b. Dataware does not really know the increase in sales that will result from a rebate or price cut. However, the company is sure that the rebate will increase sales by between 15% and 40% and that the pricecut will increase sales by between 10% and 30%.Perform a sensitivity analysis that could be used to help determine Dataware’s best decision.
