Rashaad's Radiology Center (RRC) performs X-rays, ultrasounds, computer tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RRC has developed a reputation as a top radiology center in the state. RRC has achieved this status because it constantly reexamines its processes and procedures.

Requirement 1. Calculate the budgeted cost per service for X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRI using direct technician labor costs as the allocation basis.

Start by calculating the budgeted overhead rate for total indirect costs based on total labor. First select the formula, then enter the applicable amounts and calculate the rate. (Round your answer to two decimal places, X.XX. Abbreviations used: DC = Direct cost, DL = Direct labor, $ = dollar.)

(1)	÷	(2)	=	Budgeted overhead rate

Requirement 2. Calculate the budgeted cost per service of X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRI if RRC allocated overhead costs using activity-based costing.

Begin by calculating the cost driver rate per activity. (Round the answers to five decimal places, "X.XXXXX".)

	(4)	÷	(5)	=	Cost driver rate

Requirement 3. Explain how the disaggregation of information could be helpful to RRC's intention to continuously improve its services.

Using the disaggregated activity-based costing data,

Managers can see that the CT scans are extremely more costly than the x-rays, ultrasounds, or MRI's. This causes managers to focus on ways of reducing the number of procedures so costs can stay at a minimum.

Managers can see that the X-ray actually costs substantially more than the MRI, ultrasounds, and CT scans. This is why the number of procedures for this method of activity is the lowest for each group of activity.

Managers can see that the ultrasounds actually cost the same as the other group of activities. Managers should feel indifferent in trying to obtain ways to continuously improve in this area.

Managers can see that the MRI actually costs substantially more and x-rays, ultrasounds, and CT scans substantially less than the traditional system indicated. Managers should examine the use of maintenance and sanitation activities to search for ways to reduce the activity costs.
