Activity-based Costing. In Exhibit 12–10, suppose that instead of 2,000, 5,000 and 3,000 visits for an initial, regular, and intensive visit, respectively, the number of visits was 3,000, 5,000 and 2,000. Assume that the intake, new visits, medical records, and billing costs do not change in number or distribution.

a. Would there be a change in the overhead cost per visit of an initial visit using either the conventional or ABC methods?

b. Would there be a change in the total overhead cost of initial visits using either the conventional or ABC methods?
