As practice manager, you are asked by the owner physicians to prepare a preliminary budget for adding a school sports physical exam to the practice using the following assumptions:

• Time frame: one (1) month before fall season starts (July 30 - ending August 30), and one (1) month before winter season starts (October 20 - ending November 20).
• You should expect the practice to be able to complete one physical exam every 20 minutes (check-in to check-out), with physical exams offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The practice will dedicate two (2) exam rooms for these physicals with a physician assistant covering both rooms, assisted by a MA in each room. A practicing physician must review and sign-off on the PA exam (5 min).
• The practice will charge 25 % over costs. Include labor +30 % fringe costs, consumable supplies of 20 % labor costs, and overhead of 10 % of labor costs. You must set the price and forecast total revenue assuming 70 % booking levels on all days.
• Forecast revenue and expenses for this project and provide a recommendation as to whether this is a worthwhile endeavor.
