Budget Assumptions Explain your approach (and/or) show calculations
Revenues
Government Funding will not increase by more than 2% We increased it by 2% because as stated we can expect it by 2% not more than that government is struggling to meet the funding needs of an increasing number of facilites that are serving more complex patient populations
Sunshines Senior Leadership would be open to increasing the rate per bed by a maximum of $10 per day for each bed type. However, they expect that for every $5 the price increases, the occupancy rate of the beds will decrease by 1% If we were increasing it by 5$ than we had to rely on grants, so it increased it by 10$ and also we have taken aggressive approach in expense so we had to increase it by 10$ because If we would not than the budget would go in deficit. Have increased it for Private, Semi-Private, and basic accomodation. For short stay accomodation, we did not increase the room rate as it has been same for the 2021-22 and 2022-223
Fundraising is inconsistent. Spending time on fundraising takes staff attention away from the patients, which can hurt the organizations reputation. Leadership does not want any extra time spent on fundraising efforts. Did not give any budget for fundraising as leadership does not want any extra time spent on fundraising efforts as spending time on fundraising takes staff attention away from the patients, which can hurt the organization's reputation.
Community partners often donate to the organization. On average between 7 and 10 donors donate an average of $25,000 each per year. Took an aggressive approach that only 7 community partners will donate to the organization so, that if it increases also the budget would be in profit
We should not rely on our grant application for $50,000 being approved We have submitted application for grants but we are not sure if it will be approved or not but as we have in profit of 75,830 after revenue- expense so, if the grant application is not approved than also we are in profit
Expenses
Care team wages are expected to increase 3% based on current negotiations. Took aggressive approach and increased it to 3%
Administrative wages are expected to increase by 2%. Took aggressive approach and increased it to 2%
Care team benefits are expected decrease from 23% of wages to 22% of wages. If would have kept it on 23% itself than we had to rely on grants
Administrative benefits are expected to increase from 23% of wages to 23.5% of wages. Took agrresive approach and increased it to 23.5%
Resident Care expenses are expected to rise between 5-10% due to inflation Took aggressive approach and we increased it to 10% due to inflation
Insurance will increase 5% and we are expecting a new deductible to paid which willl add another $5,000 after the increase Took aggressive approach and we increased it to 5% and also added the cost of new deductible $5000
Staff Training and Development continues to increase as the competition for qualified staff increases. We may want to consider increasing this line item without putting the organization in a deficit position. Last time decreased by approxiamtely 13.3%, so this time we increased it with same decreasing percentage by taking aggressive approach
Both snow removal and maintenance are expected to decrease by 10-15% because of predictions of a mild winter. Took aggressive approach so decreased it by 10%
2022-232021-22
Administrative Supplies As no information was provided so followed last year trend because last year also it increased by 2% so we increased this year also 2% $39,000 $35,00011.43%
Legal Expenses As no information was provided so followed last year trend because last year also it increased by 11.43% so we increased this year by 11.43% $65,000 $75,000-13.33%
This is the reasoning I gave for my aggressive approach is it fine? It is in continuation with the first question I submittedAssumptions:
Revenues
Government funding will increase by no more than 2% from last year. The government is struggling to meet the funding needs of an increasing number of facilities that are serving more complex patient populations.
Sunshines Senior Leadership would be open to increasing the rate per bed by a maximum of $10 per day for each bed type. However, they expect that for every $5 the price increases, the occupancy rate of the beds will decrease by 1%. The number of beds that the facility has cannot change. The chart below shows the current price per day and occupancy rate for each bed type.
Bed Type Number of Beds Price per Day Number of Days Occupancy Rate
Private 25 $9036595%
Semi-Private 25 $7636590%
Basic 40 $6336585%
Short Stay 10 $4029280%
