a. Assuming the graphs are drawn to the same scale, which provider has the greater fixed costs? The greater variable cost rate? The greater per unit revenue?

b. Which provider has the greater contribution margin?

c. Which provider needs the higher volume to break even?

d. How would the graphs below change if the providers were operating in a discounted fee-for-service environment? In a capitated environment?
