If the controller’s suggestion is to be followed:What would be the prediction formula/cost formula?arrow_forwardFormation of an Activity Dictionary A hospital is in the process of implementing an ABC system. A pilot study is being done to assess the effects of the costing changes on specific products. Of particular interest is the cost of caring for patients who receive in-patient recovery treatment for illness, surgery (noncardiac), and injury. These patients are housed on the third and fourth floors of the hospital. The floors are dedicated to patient care and have only nursing stations and patient rooms. A partial transcript of an interview with the hospitals nursing supervisor is as follows: 1. How many nurses are in the hospital? There are 101 nurses, including me. 2. Of these 100 nurses, how many are assigned to the third and fourth floors? Fifty nurses are assigned to these two floors. 3. What do these nurses do (please describe)? Provide nursing care for patients, which, as you know, means answering questions, changing bandages, administering medicine, changing clothes, etc. 4. And what do you do? I supervise and coordinate all the nursing activity in the hospital. This includes surgery, maternity, the emergency room, and the two floors you mentioned. 5. What other lodging and care activities are done for the third and fourth floors by persons other than the nurses? The patients must be fed. The hospital cafeteria delivers meals. The laundry department picks up dirty clothing and bedding once each shift. The floors also have a physical therapist assigned to provide care on a physician-directed basis. 6. Do patients use any equipment? Yes. Mostly monitoring equipment. 7. Who or what uses the activity output? Patients. But there are different kinds of patients. On these two floors, we classify patients into three categories according to severity: intensive care, intermediate care, and normal care. The more severe the illness, the more activity is used. Nurses spend much more time with intermediate care patients than with normal care. The more severe patients tend to use more of the laundry service as well. Their clothing and bedding need to be changed more frequently. On the other hand, severe patients use less food. They eat fewer meals. Typically, we measure each patient type by the number of days of hospital stay. And you have to realize that the same patient contributes to each type of product. Required: Prepare an activity dictionary with three categories: activity name, activity description, and activity driver.arrow_forward3.

The index used to capture nurse effort is termed a relative value unit, or RVU. For example, taking vital signs for a single patient may be equal to one RVU. RVU's are then summed to estimate the total RVU requirements for the floor. From this, the nursing staff budget is determined. The medical/surgical floor is scheduled to have 25 patients for each day of the coming seven-day week. Some patients will require more nursing effort than others, depending on the severity of their conditions or their ages. The following table summarizes the expected RVU requirements for the patients: Number of Patients RVUS per Day 5 20 8 25 10 30 40 A nurse earns $180 per day and is able to perform 40 RVUS per day. a.

- Dr. Alyx Hemmings is employed by Mesa Dental. Mesa Dental recently installed a computerized job-order costing system to help monitor the cost of its services. Each patient is assigned a job number when he or she checks in with the receptionist. The receptionist-bookkeeper notes the time the patient enters the treatment area and when the patient leaves the area. This difference between the entry and exit times is the number of patient hours used and the direct labor time assigned to the dental assistant. (A dental assistant is constantly with the patient.) The direct labor time assigned to the dentist is 50 percent of the patient hours. (The dentist typically splits her time between two patients.) The chart filled out by the dental assistant provides additional data that is entered into the computer. For example, the chart contains service codes that identify the nature of the treatment, such as whether the patient received a crown, a filling, or a root canal. The chart not only identifies the type of service but its level as well. For example, if a patient receives a filling, the dental assistant indicates (by a service-level code) whether the filling was one, two, three, or four surfaces. The service and service-level codes are used to determine the rate to be charged to the patient. The costs of providing different services and their levels also vary. Costs assignable to a patient consist of materials, labor, and overhead. The types of materials usedand the quantityare identified by the assistant and entered into the computer by the bookkeeper. Material prices are kept on file and accessed to provide the necessary cost information. Overhead is applied on the basis of patient hours. The rate used by Mesa Dental is 32 per patient hour. Direct labor cost is also computed using patient hours and the wage rates of the direct laborers. Dr. Hemmings is paid an average of 60 per hour for her services. Dental assistants are paid an average of 20 per hour. Given the treatment time, the software program calculates and assigns the labor cost for the dentist and her assistant; overhead cost is also assigned using the treatment time and the overhead rate. The overhead rate does not include a charge for any X-rays. The X-Ray Department is separate from dental services; X-rays are billed and costed separately. The cost of an X-ray is 12 per film; the patient is charged 15 per film. If cleaning services are required, cleaning labor costs 35 per patient hour. Glen Johnson, a patient (Job 267), spent 30 minutes in the treatment area and had a two-surface filling. He received two Novocaine shots and used three ampules of amalgam. The cost of the shots was 14 (7 each). The cost of the amalgam was 6 per ampule. Other direct materials used are insignificant in amount and are included in the overhead rate. The rate charged to the patient for a two-surface filling is 110. One X-ray was taken. Required: 1. Prepare a job-order cost sheet for Glen Johnson. What is the cost for providing a two-surface filling? What is the gross profit earned? Is the X-ray a direct cost of the service? Why are the X-rays costed separately from the overhead cost assignment? 2. Suppose that the patient time and associated patient charges are given for the following fillings: Compute the cost for each filling and the gross profit for each type of filling. Assume that the cost of Novocaine is 14 for all fillings. Ampules of amalgam start at two and increase by one for each additional surface. Assume also that only one X-ray film is needed for all four cases. Does the increase in billing rate appear to be fair to the patient? Is it fair to the dental corporation?arrow_forwardAdmissions time variance Valley Hospital began using standards to evaluate its Admissions Department. The standard was broken into two types of admissions as follows: The unscheduled admission took longer because name, address, and insurance information needed to be determined and verified at the time of admission. Information was collected on scheduled admissions prior to admitting the patient, thus requiring less time in admissions. The Admissions Department employs four full-time people for 40 hours per week at 15 per hour. For the most recent week, the department handled 140 unscheduled and 340 scheduled admissions. a. How much was actually spent on labor for the week? b. What are the standard hours for the actual volume of work for the week? c. Compute the direct labor time variance, and report how well the department performed for the week. d. What are some factors that may cause an unfavorable direct labor time variance for the Admissions Department?arrow_forwardDeepa Dalal opened a free-standing radiology clinic. She had anticipated that the costs for the radiological tests would be primarily fixed, but she found that costs increased with the number of tests performed. Costs for this service over the past nine months are as follows: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph based on the preceding data. Use cost for the vertical axis and number of radiology tests for the horizontal axis. Based on an examination of the scattergraph, does there appear to be a linear relationship between the cost of radiology service and the number of tests? 2. Compute the cost formula for radiology services using the high-low method. 3. Calculate the predicted cost of radiology services for October for 3,500 tests using the formula found in Requirement 2.arrow_forward
