The pharmacy in a busy hospital uses pre-determined rates for absorbing total overheads, based on the
budgeted number of prescriptions to be handled. A rate of $7 per prescription has been calculated, and
the following overhead expenditures have been estimated at two activity levels.
Total overheads Number of prescriptions
$
97,000 13,000
109,000 16,000
During a particular period fixed overheads were $45,000.
Based on the data above, what was the budgeted level of activity in prescriptions to be handled during
the period in question?
A 13,000
B 15,000
C 16,000
D 33,333
Mercy Hospital staffs its medical/surgical floors with nurses depending on the number of pa-
tients assigned to the floor and the severity of their condition. 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:

The hospital must maintain an adequate staff of attending and on-call physicians at all times, so physician costs are not affected by the number of patient visits. But all other costs do vary with patient activity. Nurse- hours are used as the activity measure for nursing costs, and patient visits are used as the activity measure for the cost of supplies and other variable costs. The head physician of the hospital's emergency room, Yolanda Mortensen, is responsible for control of costs. During October, the emergency room unit expected to treat 3,500 patients but actually treated 4,000 patients.
