Question:
Hi, I have a homework wondering if you can do it. You can use my e-book chapters 6-11 1. Download the Strategic Alternative Brainstorming.docx document 2. Have your P1-P4 work available to you and review it to remind yourself of the Externaal Environment, Porter’s 5-Forces Industry Analysis, Value Chain, SWOT and any other research relevant to the basis of your strategic alternative. 3. For each topic listed in each chapter, generate at least one strategic alternative that would be of the type described in that topic.  Two is ideal.  Three is probably the max.  Don’t worry about the “goodness” of your alternative at this point.  This is brainstorming at this point so any idea that fits that topic is a “good” idea in that you were forced to consider what that would mean to your firm at this time.  An example in the document is in I.A.1 for Chapter 6. 4. For at least one alternative in each chapter, identify the source of the idea in terms of a which of the sources in #1 above did you use to motivate your suggested alternative.  An example in the document is in I.A.1 for Chapter 6. 5. If a strategic alternative applies to more than one topic area, cut and paste it in as many topic area where it applies – but try to minimize the number of times you do this.  One of the topic areas is likely the primary topic area and that is sufficient. 6. After ALL chapters are complete, review your list and change the text for your “top five” to red.

Business and Management Question – The Pros and Cons of Mergers and Acquisitions

Review the following scenario:
You are the chief executive officer (CEO) of a 200-bed nonprofit community hospital that serves a rural community with a population of 50, 000. The demographics include a median household income of $38,000. Currently, slightly less than half of the population (45%) has employer-sponsored insurance, with 35% having a combination of Medicare and private supplemental insurance and the remaining 20% being uninsured. The population is aging, with 40% of the population expected to reach Medicare eligibility age within the next 5 years, where employer-sponsored insurance will shift to Medicare or a combination of Medicare and other supplemental insurance.
A group of internal medicine physicians specializing in geriatric medicine, including joint replacement surgeries, is looking to expand their services. The physician group has approached the hospital about merging their services with the hospital and expanding the hospital to include an ambulatory care center and outpatient surgical center.
Based on your analysis of the scenario, explain the potential risks and benefits of the merger. Be sure to address the following:
What, if any, opportunities are there for cost control if the decision to merge with the physician group is made by the hospital?
What are some of the changes in Medicare reimbursement that could affect the long-term success of the merger?
Would the community hospital be better served by countering the physician group’s offer to merge with the hospital or would acquiring the physician group better serve the hospital’s interests?
Describe any ethical considerations that could influence the CEO’s decision.
Write a 3-page paper in Word format. Utilize 2–3 SCHOLARLY sources in your research. Your paper should be clear, concise, and organized; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Sales Mix DecisionThe Textbook Solutions answer to 9AP for the book, Managerial Accounting 10th ed by Crosson and Needles, Chapter 9 – P9 under Alternative Problems is incorect. The below is the correct question which needs to be answered as soon as possible. Sales Mix DecisionDr. Stott, who specializes in internal medicine, wants to analyze his sales mix to find out how the time of his physician assistant, Connie Mortiz, can be used to generate the highest operating income.Mortiz sees patients in Dr. Stott’s office, consults with patients over the telephone, and conducts one daily weight-loss support group attended by up to 50 patients. Statistics for the three services are as follows:Office VisitsPhone CallsWeight-Loss Support GroupMaximum number of patient billings per day204050Hours per billing.25.101.0Billingrate$50$25$10Variable costs$25$12$5 Mortiz works seven hours a day.

(Hint: Remember to consider the maximum number of patient billings per day.) What would be the daily total contribution margin generated by Mortiz?3. Dr. Stott believes the ranking is incorrect. He knows that the daily 60-minute meeting of the weight-loss support group has 50 patients and should continue to be offered. If the new ranking for the services is (1) weight-loss support group, (2) phone calls, and (3) office visits, how much time should Mortiz spend on each service in a day? What would be the total contribution margin generated by Mortiz, assuming the weight-loss support group has the maximum number of patient billings? 4. Manager Insight: Which ranking would you recommend? What additional amount of total contribution margin would be generated if your recommendation is accepted?

Investment gains and losses may have to be accounted for differently in nonexpendable than in expendable funds.

EX. 10-4: Investment gains and losses may have to be accounted for differently in nonexpendable than in expendable funds. (70 points)Scenario 3: The McCracken County Humane Society (MCHS), which is part of a county’s reporting entity, established a permanent fund to provide support for its pet neutering program. As of the start of the year, the fund had a balance of $600,000, composed of both cash and marketable securities.The program itself, which is accounted for in a special revenue fund, is funded by both direct contributions and the income from the permanent fund. At the start of the year, the special revenue fund had assets (all investments) of $26,000.The following transactions and events occurred in a recent year.The MCHS conducted a Walk Your Pet Day fundraising drive. The event raised $120,000, of which $20,000 was in pledges expected to be collected shortly after year-end.The society acquired food and medicine at a cost of $60,000 (cash). During the year, it used $30,000 of these supplies. The society accounts for supplies on a consumption basis. It incurred other operating costs (all paid in cash) of $85,000.The society earned interest of $45,000 on investments accounted for in the permanent fund.During the year, the market value of the investments held by the permanent fund increased by $30,000. Per the terms of the agreement establishing the endowment, all capital gains, both realized and unrealized, must be added to principal.During the year, the value of investments held by the special revenue fund increased by $3,000.The society transferred cash to the special revenue fund in the amount of the earnings of the permanent fund.Instructions:Prepare journal entries to record the events and transactions. Be sure you indicate the fund in which they would be recorded.In your opinion, should the unrealized gains on the investments held in the special revenue fund be considered expendable or nonexpendable? Explain.How would the transfer from the permanent fund to the special revenue fund be reported in the government-wide statements?

Panhandle Medical Practice (Activity-Based Costing)Panhandle Medical Practice is a group practice owned by the area’s leading hospital, Panhandle Regional Medical Center.

Panhandle Medical Practice (Activity-Based Costing)Panhandle Medical Practice is a group practice owned by the area’s leading hospital, Panhandle Regional Medical Center. The practice includes both primary care and specialty physicians, with an emphasis on internal medicine, obstetrics, pediatrics, and surgery. The practice has three different locations, each one staffed with a mix of primary care and specialist physicians. Traditionally, ancillary services have been performed at the hospital. Still, some ancillary services are best performed at the practice locations for one or more of the following reasons: lower costs, increased physician efficiency, and improved patient convenience. For example, one of the practice locations now has a diagnostic imaging capability. When the scanner was moved from the hospital to the practice location, volume increased, costs decreased, and both physician and patient satisfaction improved. The proposal now being considered is to provide ultrasound services at the practice locations. Preliminary analysis indicates that two approaches are most suitable. Alternative 1 involves the purchase of three ultrasound machines, one for each of the practice’s three locations. Patients would schedule appointments, generally at the location that they are using, during preset times on particular days of the week. Then, the full-time ultrasound technician would travel from one location to another to administer the tests as scheduled. In Alternative 2, patient scheduling would be the same, but only one ultrasound machine would be purchased. It would be mounted in a van that the technician would drive to each of the three practice locations. Most of the operating costs of the two alternatives are identical, but Alternative 2 has the added cost of operating the van and setting up the machine after each move.The two alternatives differ substantially in initial costs because Alternative 1 requires three ultrasound machines at a cost of $75,000 each, whereas Alternative 2 requires only one. However, Alternative 2 requires a van, which with necessary modifications would cost $40,000. Thus, the startup costs for Alternative 1 total 3 × $75,000 = $225,000, while those for Alternative 2 amount to only $75,000 $40,000 = $115,000. though, that because the two alternatives have different operating costs, a proper cost analysis of the two alternatives must include both initial (capital) and operating costs. The hospital’s financial staff considered several methods for estimating the operating costs of each alternative. After much discussion, they decided that the activity-based costing (ABC) method would be best. Furthermore, an ad hoc task force was assigned the task of performing the cost analysis. To begin the ABC analysis, the task force had to develop the activities involved in the two alternatives. This was accomplished by conducting “walkthroughs” of the entire process from the standpoints of the patient, the ultrasound technician, and the billing and collections department. The results are contained in Table 1. A review of the activities confirms that all except one—machine setup—are applicable to both alternatives. The next step in the ABC process is to detail the costs associated with each activity. This step uses financial, operational, and volume data, along with the appropriate cost driver for each activity, to estimate resource consumption. Note that traditional costing, which often focuses on department-level costs, typically first deals with direct costs and then allocates indirect (overhead) costs proportionally according to a predetermined allocation rate. In ABC, the activities required to produce some service, including both direct and indirect, are estimated simultaneously.For example, Table 1 contains activities that entail direct costs (such as technician time) and activities that entail indirect costs (such as billing and collection). Although the ABC method is more complex and hence costlier than the traditional method, it is the only way to accurately (more or less) estimate the costs of individual services. Activity cost detail on a per-procedure basis is shown in Table 2. In essence, each activity is assigned a cost driver that is most highly correlated with the actual utilization of resources. Then the number of driver units, along with the cost per unit, is estimated for each activity. The product of the number of units multiplied by the cost per unit gives the cost of each activity. Finally, the activity costs are summed to obtain the total cost per procedure. Many of the activity costs cannot be estimated without a volume estimate. The best estimate is that 50 procedures would be done each week, regardless of which alternative is chosen. Assuming the technician works 48 weeks per year, the annual volume estimate is 2,400 procedures. Of course, a much greater total volume can be accommodated under Alternative 1, with three machines, than with Alternative 2, with only one machine. However, to keep the initial analysis manageable, the decision was made to assume the same annual volume regardless of the alternative chosen. Copyright 2009 Health Administration Press In addition to the costs mentioned thus far, some other costs are thought to be relevant to the decision. First, in addition to the obvious costs of operating the van (primarily gas expenses), it is estimated that annual maintenance costs will run about $1,000. Furthermore, annual maintenance costs on each of the three machines under Alternative 1 are estimated at $500, while the annual maintenance costs for the single machine under Alternative 2 are estimated at a higher $1,000 because of added wear and tear. Also, the manufacturer of the ultrasound machines has indicated that a 5 percent discount may be available if three machines, as opposed to only one, are purchased. Finally, to have a rough estimate of total annual costs over the life of the equipment, it is necessary to make assumptions about the useful life of the ultrasound machines and the van. Although somewhat controversial, the decision was made to assume a five-year life for both the ultrasound machines and the van. Furthermore, the assumption was made that the value of these assets would be negligible at the end of five years. Assume that you are the chairperson of the ad hoc task force. Your charge is to evaluate the two alternatives and to make a recommendation on which one to accept. Because the revenues are assumed to be identical for the two alternatives, the decision can be made solely on the basis of costs. As part of the analysis, it will be necessary to estimate the costs of the two alternatives on a per procedure and annual basis. In addition, any qualitative factors that are relevant to the decision must be considered before the recommendation is made. To keep the analysis manageable, the task force was instructed to assume that operating costs remain constant over the useful life of the equipment. For comparative purposes, this assumption is not too egregious because the activities are roughly the same for both alternatives, and hence inflation would have a somewhat neutral impact on costs.TABLE 1 Panhandle Regional Medical Center Activities Associated with Alternatives 1 and 2 1.
